When the 6wc looks like the perfect way to get over a break up.
When you vocabulary from other languages in your native language based lecture notes because they are just more precise, practical, shorter or more elegant. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you expect people - including polyglots - to attend a lecture whose main purpose is to investigate the muddy realm between relative constructions (with an antecedent) and the two main types of subordinate clauses without antecedent instead of listening to a lecture about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis or an introduction to the fascinating Basque dialect bundle. Morale: don't put the word "grammar" into a lecture title unless you are surrounded by nerds with a penchant for linguistical themes.

I can relate to this, I've been discouraged from hostels upon hearing about their "multilingual staff". 3 persons have voted this message useful |
