No, I didn't. I'm really sorry about my remark, which I made because I thought the spelling mistakes were due to sloppiness. For example, inversing letters as in 'becuase' instead of 'because' (I know this is typical for people with dislexia) gives the impression of someone who knows how to write it but doesn't make an effort to type it correctly... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Negative aspects of being a polyglot? Pfft!
Like saying there are negative aspects to being a millionaire or a super model. Do you really think that anyone is going to take the complaints seriously? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This happens to me all the time unfortunately, no doubt as a result of spending time in France with a group of Americans. Don't get me wrong, all of us were capable of speaking all French but used Franglais kind of as a secret code. We were in Lille where limited amounts of people speak English. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The most annoying one I can immediately think of has already been pointed out. I hate it when people go out of their way to find gaps in my knowledge of languages I'm studying, then act as though I had made some claim to fluency.
