Re: Language
heh, well my English was bad, I use impeccable to mean that I personally cannot find flaw, as opposed to the absolute assertion that no flaws exist. Or is that me just having my own personal idiom? YOU'RE AN IDIOM! Sorry, it's been a long day and when I work for long hours the crazy comes out

Re: Language
I got classes in english when i was 11. But i started playing english games (there were no translations back then) when i was 8. Mainly racegames (f1 98' and gt2). Once games grew more complicated the need to know what everything meant rose and so i struggled to learn what meant what. Obviously you can link words to actions in games, so the basics came pretty fast. At 12 i went online with that horrible english. It was like this : "Hi, how r u? k cu" etc. But you pick up stuff real fast if you see it being repeated alot.
Back then i thought i was pretty good at it (which i was for my age), but only once i quit the game 3 years later i was slapped in the face for my horrible english. I joined a forum with strict rules on grammar. My first posts contained "lol" atleast 3 times. Pissing off a moderator eventually. That was my first ban of many. Probably been banned about 20 times for different reasons (including about 3 perma bans (a year)..But i learned "civilised" English rather than the internet language.
Just going out there and do your thing. Why not?
When you grow older you think about everything before you do it. Long live childhood.

The ones who see things differently.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Re: Language
I've long thought that the majority of English-writing internet users come from the civilized nations of the Scandinavian Peninsula, rather than the barbarism of the United States. Of course, there are more internet users in the US, but for the most part they write in "AOLoL" a crude dialect of the language.
Loftar, I've got to say, I wouldn't have noticed it before, but your writing style does seem a little formal, like a technical document, but that's something that's comforting to see in a programmer...
