Thanks for that about me having a good english  I have to say that the only english classes I took were the basic english from elementary and middle school, the rest was by reading instruction booklets of videogames and electronics, reading fanfics, browsing internet and 6 years of chatting on msn, yahoo and aim in english XD My first english fics did had a lot of grammar issues and mistaking words such as using tough instead of though. But over the years I have been improving and now at the most I have some punctuation flaws and one to another miswording here and there but nothing like on my first days writing fics on english ^^ About meeting people from other sides of the world, believe thanks to Digimon and the internet I have met people online from Germany, Findland, Australia, Portugal (my girlfriend is from Portugal ^^), England, France (Flixemon ^^), Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, USA, Canada, etc. It is really amazing to meet people from other sides of the world that share your tastes ^^ |

You do have good English, Lord Pata. In fact I'm often Jellious. (Especually as it's my first language not your's). ^-^

Haha. Yeah, true to that. Even I have trouble with my grammar at times, and this is my home language. Often times it's because I'm trying to speak a bunch of other things such as texting. It's funny how we now have a texting language. But I also took Spanish for two years, I know little German (since my mom took it), and some French. I also tried to crash course on Japanese Digimon videos, but didn't get very far. But you seem to have broken the English barrier quite well, LP. I guess that's an advantage to us.
Portugal! Now that's a far ways off. My dad went to Portugal for some meeting for a week for the airline company he works for. Needless to say, the online chatting was interesting. Thank God for technology these days, I guess. It has it's downfalls that's for sure.

Every thing has a down fall, with the internet it's the fact that we all have differant times like I'm sleeping when most of you are awake and doing something.
The only languages I know are French and English, French is my home though.

Well, it's good we all know some or most English. Otherwise this would be very tough. Yes, that is very tough.

I'll try Japanese, though I'm not a natural linguist... One thing which I've been thinking about, Digidestend of Trust is the only one that's known for a fact to have done self inserts before... I did try ages ago but that didn't turn out so good.  . Also I believe that as well as a viviety of Nationalitys we also have a virety of ages here. I think that we should have a none school based questionair too. Just so that everyone whose in can know each other better. We should be in character, after all. |

Everyone. I'll compile it though as Gato's doing the school one then once there's enough different types of questions, I'll post it then we'll openly once we've finished it...
Unless someone else wants to compile it.
Oh, how do people feel about silly questions that are unlikly to be use or orament? ^-^

(Especually as it's my first language not your's). ^-^ Awww thanks, you don't know how much that means to me, I have been putting a lot of effort in my english, mom says I'm of the empiric type, you know people who learns with just watching without need of a teacher ^^ Heck when I was in 3rd grade in elementary school the teacher sometimes got grumpy because when he was explaining the class I was watching out the window, he caught me and asked me about what he was explaining minutes before and I always replied to him correctly lol He even told my parents one time that he really wished that one day he could get me off guard in a way I couldn't reply his questions but he never got his wish granted XD |

*puts serious face on* Okay, I agree with the Madame Pika about the second questionare. About the ages thing, we do have a variety of ages(I'm good at noticing that sort of stuff). If no one noticed yet, I'm the youngest(well, I believe I am). The language idea is good too. I'll probably be good at spanish, and okay-ish at french. I'll help teach english! (well, further teach english since everyone's already great!) It would kind of be like Algebra Lab, only since it's english, English Lab. Oh, and having random questions can be good. It'll add some flavor to the story!! |
