...when you won't download any fonts that don't have Latin Extended-A and Cyrillic characters because they're useless.

... when you and your friends, during Spring Break, record the phrase, "My foot is stuck in the oven." in numerous languages; you did Finnish, of course. Other languages were German, Japanese, and Russian. These are now ringtones on your friend's cellphone.
(The whole thing started when your friend admitted that the only phrase she knew in Spanish was, "Mi pie está atascado en el horno." and Google Translate. We sincerely apologize to the natives of the languages we butchered...) - Kat Edited by Phantom Kat on 25 April 2011 at 3:47am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you put "My foot is stuck in the oven" into google translate to post it as a
facebook status in a language none will understand, because you find it amusing. When instead of paying that phone bill, you buy a dictionary for a language you might study sometime during the next two years. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you read this post about the sentence "my foot is stuck in the oven" and you expect that someone is going to post a sarcastic comment that it must be an expression from RS. 7 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you've decided to drop four of your study languages in order to focus on the others and it feels like you've just killed a friend. Or rather, four friends.

Well that's what we have the profiles for. :) But if you really must know, Swahili, Swedish, Polish, and Romanian. Those are the immediate removals. Within a couple weeks French will be gone too and by July Greek will as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
