What would we Language nerds do if there were only ONE international language? I mean sure a lot of things would have been improved but that would be a pretty boring world for us, nichtwahr?!?

You know you're a language nerd when you have seen Professor Arguelles' whole series on Germanic languages at
least seven times, and it doesn't bore you at all the next time you watch it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Now that's discipline! Depriving yourself of chocolate until you can speak a language well enough to read the packaging it comes in. :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

...when, as soon as somebody asks "How is that spelled?", everybody looks at you before you even say anything.

Well, I'm kind of wary of what's in it. I'm picky, if it has cherry or coconut in it I don't want it. That and the fact that I actually want to figure out what it says... I need to hurry out and figure out what they say, before they melt or something.
I get this quite a bit, but only because I'm a very good English speller. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||
