188408. Sewry, sewry. Aim nawt rally a neytiv engrish speeker, ai am, but second language. DDDDDX

188409. You spell better and use better grammar than many native English speakers I've seen. (b'-')b

/coming from someone who types like he speaks, for the most part

Also, smilie usage is manlier than you'll ever be! D:<

I'm not a native English speaker, either. In fact I haven't really spoken English for that many years.

Though it is well known that Swedes are so good with formal English that it's creepy.

 

[donavannj]

188411. And I basically only know English. (b'-')b

/stupid American school system not making a foreign language mandatory learning... then again, we do have an individual-centric culture, so I guess being able to choose whether to learn another foreign language at all goes along with that

 

[RYOUKI]

188412. I'm one of the top scorer in English in my class. Though, I'm not bragging or anything. I clearly am, well my grammar need some improvement. I live in a country where they speak broken english due to the diversity of languages here. Singapore. They got 4 OFFICIAL LANGUAGE.

And nuuuuuuu, don. SMILIES ARE OVERRATED. STARTING FROM THIS POST ONWARD, I WILL NOT, I REPEAT, NO USE ANY EXCLAMATION MARK (! <- That's what you call this right? XD) OR USE ANY SMILIES. DX :D DDDD| o__________________O

DonDon, you won't even get to learn learn Spanish? D:

Over here, we just have Swedish until English is introduced (usually around the first year of school or so (my school had it the third year at my time D: )), and in sixth grade we get to choose between Spanish, French or German. We can also choose more English, but that's really bad for your grades, plus it's not even more advanced than the regular English class.

Then, in tenth grade, you can choose to begin Russian, Italian, and some other stuff I can't remember. And after that there's tons of languages to learn.

Swedes are great with languages for a reason ;D

188415. It's either an exclamation mark or an exclamation point, depending on where you're from in the English speaking realm. (b'-')b

?! <== That's called an interrobang, at least from what I've been taught. As far as I know, this is the proper order for them. Freakin' cartoonists (American, Japanese, and otherwise) have been spreading the improper form of it, though. >:(

America doesn't mandate foreign languages because of several reasons, including individualism and the rage that numerous Americans would have at their children being required to learn a foreign language, because it'd be "un-American". >:(

What's more American than other languages? It's not like the US' only official language is English.

 

[donavannj]

188417. Correction. There is no official language in the United States. It's only a de facto language because it's the language that the majority knows. But I do think diversity in languages is a good thing to have...

 

[Pokestick good times.]

188417

Hmm.

Well, I sure thought America was about justice and the right of being different D;

 

[donavannj]

188418. There's also such a thing as tyranny of the majority... we're libertarian at our core, not liberal.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

188419

If you look at it in a political view, Sweden looks communistic next to the US :D

 

[donavannj]

188420. That's more in economic policy, not social policy, though.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

188421

Economical politic is politics too D;
It's all that people care about during election times, anyway.

 

[donavannj]

188422. It's not all people care about here... 'cause here, essentially everyone who has an interest in politics is looking out for themselves and not usually someone else...

 

[Ivysaur]

People think I'm Australian so I guess my English must be good :(

Even though my accent is thicker than a purée.

[Pokestick good times.]

188424

Let's say that if you're better at Spanish than English, then you must be a god at Spanish.
