urs - thanks.I admit I didn't speak more than a very little German when I was 14 and it helps that I'm currently in Zurich, so I've been hearing/speaking German the last few days...as far as hearing is concerned, the UGLIEST POSSIBLE form of German, of course - Schwyzerduetsch!
MwH - unlike many chatrooms, this site (which we, in our vanity, consider to be a "discussion forum") is mainly used by adults. In fact, at 32, I feel like one of the younger people here. I don't know if that's actually the case but we don't get many teenagers!
Maybe it's that age showing but, on a2k, try a touch harder with the spelling and grammar, if you want us to take your comments and linguistic abilities seriously.
We don't usually gang up and criticise newcomers and welcome, despite what you've seen on this thread. Harsh language gets reserved for the massive American Liberal v Conservative slanging matches...with Kerry v Bush as the polarised choice for them, it'll be fun to follow!
So, even if I am old enough to be father, don't be patronised - react with more precise language. We don't give out Blue Peter badges for a muddle, even if you do put "aged 14" at the end of it, though!
Take care and don't give up.
