In this case you should try my language - you will see what is difficult. English is easy, thanks to Anglo-Saxons.

It has far to many 'exceptions' to every rule. Unlike Spanish where every letter is always pronounced the same, regaurdless... or Italian where EVERY vowel is pronunced.
Difficult to spell, maybe, but it's basic grammar is easy, none of those genuses for words to bother about (says I, who speaks a language which some (albethem deluded) think has 4 of them! (in practice, there are two)). And no difficult cases to speak of either (again, this might be because my native language has the same two)!

I studied Hungarian (by myself, because I seriously considered teaching English in Budapest a few years back), Chinese (one term) and Japanese (two years). Three of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, I'd say. Hungarian pronunciation killed me, while Chinese requires one to learn some 5,000 characters. Japanese requires one to learn a mere 2,000 or so characters, plus two sets of alphabets. At least Japanese pronunciation is reasonably simple!

It's not just you :D

It's just that winterfate and I happen to have been online during a long period of time, where no one else was posting a lot (except a little help from OD)

I've been pretty busy lately but hopefully I'll be around more soon :) I cannot believe I ended up a one-liner due to lack of time! :disagree:

Titan you are well over the line. Wary back. Obviously if your message will stays like ......goodness.......B-) accompanied with even more dots - it's hard to get clue if you are ever sane. With all respect - Wake Up!

________miniquizzies solutions:

* The photo was taken from Ollaitaitamba (South America - Peru). It's here where was grown best maze in America, reserved for nobles only.

* And correct keyboard is the third one. I think when are people so interested in theirs computers specifications why not in keyboard? Display, keyboard, mouse - this is what is most used. Two are savefingers and one pasture for eyes - if you are having EIZO fe.
