It's time I give my opinion, and it is quite simple. Reputation was a great mean to show that someone took actively part not only to post, but to bring awesome posts on the forum. So, I think we should reimplement it

I don't know a lot of Spanish, but I'm sure that the first "tenemos" could be replaced by "hay". (I studied Spanish in college)

I have a big box full of Lego. A marvellous invention. But I prefered to play with unspecialised pieces : You had to be more imaginative to do something cool

I scarcely use smilies, but it happened to me when I looked for the samurai one...

For those that change time on the last sunday of october : We are the last sunday of october, so time must change! At 2 o'clock, you're coming right back to the good old time when the sun was at its zenith at midday!

Hi to av-nefardec's brother. Hazimemasite, douzo yorosiku onegai itasimasu.

Having no camera at all is worse!

There is Googlebot in the forums... That's Odd!

Normally, the Moon turn red. It seems it never "disappears" as the sun.

I went to see it last night. It was a bit cold outside, and didn't brought any coat, only my kangourou. But it was nice to see the Red Moon from the Summit. A lot of people were taking pictures of it. Bravo! for yours Dnas.

Thinking of it, ever since I was about 10 years old, I always went somehow against my parents. But this is because of something that made my life go worse and worse, and... actually, it is when I went against my parents will that everything got better! So, in my head, if I know what I want, if I understand the situation, I can do better than anyone else. When I was 10 years old, I had great problems at school. I asked to change school : no one wanted. And my life then became hell. This continued for long years, and never disappeared until I was 13. My parents saw that I fell down at some point, but they never understood. Then, suddenly, when I finished my 8th grade, I fell on an advertisment about a special school, outside and far away, where I could do my next three years of school within two. My parents didn't want me to go there (they prefered that I went to a private school). But I insisted, and I finally entered it (we were about 40 to want to enter, I was one of the 7 chosen, and the only one out of them who never was invited to pass their exams!)... Then, everything went better there. I was happy, no problems. Then, at 15, I entered College, and this was so great. But I was in Science (which I entered because my parents asked me to, sort of). And they didn't want to hear a lot about languages... But I began to be depressed. And this is when I understood : when I was chosing and accepting, I was feeling better. And when I wanted it, I could feel way better. This is what guides me now : I want it, I take it And all those changes in my cursus, I always went against my parents. And those were the best choices I could ever do This is why, in the end, I oppose a lot to my parents. I don't go against laws, I don't swear words to them. But, I go against their own will, and as long as I recall, I have always been happy when I chose myself! And I think I never turned bad... And Calefaction, tell yourself this : if one does not accept you as you are and want to be, he's not worth of you And if you must go to hell, at least, you know that you'll be accepted there for what you were and wanted to be... I myself wouldn't go to some god if he didn't like me as I am and want to be. But I'll surely deeply honor one that do so. But... never found one

akya : You don't seem to be a really expensive girlfriend

I finally decided myself on a poject with my learning of Japanese. Each year, in Montreal, there is a speech contest for Japanese learners. There seems to be a few prizes. I decided to try myself. I'll give you some notes here on what is happening. For now, I only sent my possible text to my Japanese teachers. As we say in Japanese, Ganbarou! = I'll try my best!

I think Akya will understand why, but not by now. I'm just to happy alone, and it's fun when you don't have anyone. I have friends instead, and this is as good, or probably better, because they don't stress you. And it's better to be alone if you go to live in Japan for over five years (which is what I am planning for my studies)...

Lorian : I was more thinking of SoggyFroggy. Even though indeed there are some Canadians that never went in the United States (this is even more true in Quebec!), most of them, especially those that can afford a computer, went there.

To me, it depends on which time of year it is. I'll be comfortable at 10-30 by winter and it will be hot at 30-50. But in summer, I'll be chilling, where I would be confortable at 70-110. This is a relative matter to me. But wouldn't be confortable (unless well dressed) at ~10-10. This is a bit too cold to get out undressed. (SoggyFroggy : You never learned to use farenheit? I went in the U.S. so many times that I had to get used to it. Also, we are used, in my family, to measure water's temperature with fareinheit. At 60 (15) , it is tolerable, at 70 (20), it's not bad, at 80 (25), it's confortable at 90 (30) it begins to be hot.)

I do this a lot with Japanese, backwards (from Japanese to French)

I'll try it myself Oui... Je ne peux croire les nouvelles du jour Je ne peux fermer les yeux et l'envoyer au loin Jusqu'à quand...

Il y a... For "There is, there are"

It would be fascinating to see a language that could only say : I have lived (19) years. In fact, it may be this formula in French : in old french, the pass participle was placed at the end, hence : "J'ai 19 ans vécus." It's almost our J'ai 19 ans...

When I'm doing nothing.

Thinking of it, "Je suis agé de 19 ans" is quite the same as "I am 19 years old" In fact, in French and probably most latin languages (hence, probably coming from latin), we must have been saying "I have 19 years (of experience in life)", hence our expression. On the other hand, probably English (this is true about Japanese as well) states that one is old "of some years". Hence, Latin concentrated on what we had of experience... But this is only a theory.
