When you're at school and blurt out a cuss-word only to realize that the teacher is right
next to you and heard what you said,so you get nervous and think you will get in trouble and then realize you said 'cazzo' and are then overwhelmed with joy in the fact that you spoke naturally in your target language.

When, instead of either of these, you've downloaded a particular keyboard layout that can create the diacritics for every language you're studying, including Esperanto (I'll take this chance to show off my ĉ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ...), and you can't imagine why anyone would need a chart, because you've memorized how to type all the accents for your various languages and can produce them as quickly as normal typing. P.S. If your method of "showing off" to your sister is writing this on her Facebook wall: "Ķẽšŧṟėľ... ąṝĕ ¥ơű ǰe̊āłøủș ɵƒ ṁę þǯ©ảǚšȩ Ỉ çąṉ țÿ¶ë £¡ḱê ṫḫı§?" EDIT: Wow, my "e" with a line through it doesn't even show up! That makes me feel strangely proud of myself! Edited by Jinx on 19 June 2011 at 7:01am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
