We seem to have trapped one of the mods within the forum's code... and we're not sure how to get him out. Oh well, he'll figure it out!

Out of sheer boredom respect for the language and a desire not to butcher it, I decided to quit French as soon as I had the chance. If English and mimicry can't help me out of a situation, I'm pretty sure French can't either.

Yes, I'm still around from time to time. For quicker response, you can reach me by PM, or drop by Smogon to say hi. I go by "Codraroll" there, because of a bet.

Well... 25% of english is made up of french! you cant go wrong there  ;D

English is actually a language of Germanic origin. But we do take bits and peices from latin based languages such as french and spanish.

You would call a person who speak 2 languages bilingual. You would call a person who speaks 3 languages trilingual.

But what do you call someone who speaks only one language?

American.

Because most Americans can barely grasp the true essence of the English Language.

And I know about being Bilingual. I AM BILINGUAL! I still make some grammatical errors in my second language, its just not what im used to! (and Roz can scoff at my remarks and fix 'em up all nice)... understanding is the easy part!

And I also know about the Germanic Origins. I spent about three months studying Beowolf and the Canterbury Tales, some in the original Anglo-Saxon language (which is extremely easy once you can adapt it to modern English).

Anyone have a good Pokémon topic?

I am plumb out. You guys have already answered what I was planning on asking.

How about, if you had to choose another season of anime (excluding the the original, orange league and johto), which season would you choose and why! I'll leave you all with that
I'm just going to spend my summer here in California doing so many things. There are a lot of things to do here!

You mean as my favorite? Definitely Pokemon Advanced (not sure the season number, maybe 5?). It's the first Hoenn one, anyway. I love the theme song and May/Max were good refreshers for Misty.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

DrP

I like the newer ones (please dont kill me). They are in HD (something I have been waiting for, for a while)

But my favorite from the original definitely has to be Battle Frontier (season 10, I believe)

SlowPokemon

It's weird, I never saw anything of that season, except where Ash faces Agatha.

And I'm not killing you. But I will say that the first Diamond/Pearl season was FAAAR better than the others. Now I can't even stand to watch the new episodes.

Dawn's grown quite annoying to me, I'm sorry to say! xD

Hopefully Belle won't be as bad!

Who is this Belle you speak of? You might be alluding to Iris?

Dawn has gotten kinda annoying, too. I cant believe there is still a Grand Festival AND the Pokémon League thing. I'll find out Thursday who beats who in the battle!

I butchering language of the english long time. hahaha. It kinda gets on my nerves in some cases (like telling some one how to correctly pronounce a word)... i also hate how people say "sans" the english way... the french way is how it should be pronounced!

Haha, I feel like that too. People around here use a lot of English words and pronounce them with a French accent... and it just sounds horrible.

Also, gonna breed that damn Shuckle today. I should have time to do that tonight.

Bonne chance, chance is a feminine noun. :)
And I think it's her Japanese name.
