You're right. You're the wisest of us all. We shall better behave. *halo
I said hi in my message while you delivered a thoughtful and interesting quote about books and their magic, but in the wisest? That doesn't add up.
I'm all for some "misbehaving" ;) but i think it should be in a more "appropriate" place. And i also don't want said monkey to think I'm doing his job for him :D

Yes, plenty of French things I don't do indeed, that'd be terrible. ^^
No worries, I also only know the classics. It seems logical that Americans would know less about the little differences between European countries. So hearing subtleties like Swiss German or the German German is impressive. :D

Aww thanks! I've been told that before. :) Probably a semi-conscious wish to sound very clear and understandable since it's not my native language.
Haha, well I know the difference between my German friend and the Swiss German coworker she talks with often. I have no idea how this scales :D

lol You know very well that I had to pick this random quote exactly because I didn't want to misbehave! :D

I can recognize the Austrian German, but Swiss, unless they use their special vocabulary which I wouldn't understand at all, I'm not sure how it sounds.
You work with such an international group! I don't know if you're into that, but I'd love it, it sounds awesome. :)
It's exactly like you described, that kind of international hard to place accent. But much much nicer than you seem to think.
It's because I'm talking to nice people, that's the only explanation. :)
And it's good, cause I feel closer to being European than any other ""citizenship"", and I haven't been anywhere else (yet).
Thanks ^^

See, I find that interesting. It does make some sense, being a polyglot as you are, and knowing your background. But still interesting. One of those things where I just can't quite imagine what it would feel like.

I myself feel very tied to a specific place, California. I'd even describe myself as Californian before American (as I'm sure you gathered from my long ranting pm, lol). I've lived in a few cities, but all of them on the southern or central Californian coast. I mean, I have literally never had a home more than ten minutes away from a beach (I miss the apartment I had with my wife, we couldn't quite see the ocean, but we could hear the sea lions at night). And I've been to a few other places in the US, but most of my leisure travel has just been up the coast into Northern Cali or down into Baja. Like, the only place in the world that I could ever consider home is this really narrow, only a few miles wide, (but long as fuck) strip of land.
