I just said that I don't count it, as in counting when I tally the time I spend on my languages. I also don't count things like the five minute loo breaks with my Dante's Monarchia in Latin because it's just too much of a hassle to think about how useful that actually is, and to measure the time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Midnight is the zero point, and so does not belong to either the day before or the day
after. It's relative - it's usually apparent from the context. If not, it's usually better to say 11:59 pm (or 23:59) or 00:01 am. Also, I have no idea when the Challenge ends, or if it ends at GMT or our own local time. I'm hoping our own local time ... I'll have a couple hours to play catch up! I'm not sure what time zone the twitter-bot is in. It isn't mine! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

On not much of a language-related note, this post makes me so sad. Russia were just amazing in their first game against the Czech Republic, I don't know what happened to them! They just didn't seem to want it in those last few games. Edited by Swift on 10 August 2012 at 2:05am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Ah I don't know either. Most people blame Advocaat here, reaching the top form too early and not having a plan B. The Euro was amazing anyway though, even with another big heartbreak for me when Croatia was out on my birthday. I had a fantastic time in Poland and probably brought good luck to the stadium in Wrocław.
Well I'd totally prefer Italian or German but I'm doing a 6WC in Spanish now and I'm enjoying it:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The challenge ends on Tuesday September 11th at 11:59pm in whatever time zone you're in. The bot will run a few hours longer in order to ensure that people in all time zones have a chance to log their hours.

Can you please delete the empty #10 tag from my list? It got created automatically when I posted an untagged entry and #rest was created.

You didn't seem to know it, that's why I elaborated, so, keep your voice down, please. Don't think you should be like the English native speakers. At least I like to try my best. I don't set such limits like it's O.K. to be just as good as them. Notice I didn't write "midnight" but 0:00, precisely too make it clear. I hadn't known there was a confusion about what 0:00 means. I considered it trivial, for the order of the natural numbers. May I direct your attention to this link: link I hope you can eliminate your confusion there. Lastly, you can acquire new knowledge by using Google. I know it's a bit difficult to use, but I don't have so much time to help you get hold of every information, so I'm off, if I don't excuse myself. I have a way to go for learning Mandarin Chinese...

Sorry, I cannot find it in the database - it's not a regular tag, rather some weird buggy output. I don't have the time to trace and fix it at the moment; working a regular job while graduating from university and doing Japanese 6WC. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
