    That's great! And some folks wonder why English is so difficult for newcomers to the language!

    Wow, when you look at it broken down like that, it really is a confusing language.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Good one!

    I have no doubt I make the odd mistake (or more), but then, I don't mind being corrected - in fact I'd prefer that! We all still have a lot to learn!

    I agree with Randi. If I'm not sure if I'm saying something right or spelling it right I appreciate being corrected because if not how else am I going to learn for next time.

    I have always heard that the English language is the hardest to learn.


    Good thing I know it or I would be in big trouble!! I took a little French & Spanish in school (waaay back when ) but only know some words or bad phrases......nothing that I could carry on a conversation with, nor listen to a conversation and understand!!!

    Don't worry, we all still get things mixed up once in a while, too!!

    Sorry, but I don't agree with this! I've learned 4 languages so far( Dutch, French, English and German), and in my opinion English was far the easiest one! I think that the most difficult one is German!
