When you see an add that starts with "Verras" and you think it's French, only to find out
the rest of the ad continues in Dutch. You then realise that starting with "Verras" in French is quite ungrammatical unless it's hyphenated. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you google "Storia della lingua Italiana" for no particular reason, really. While watching German TV in the background. And reading HTLAL in English at the same time, obviously. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
