I try to be a kind person - even if I can be as cranky and nasty as the next person - when needed - in fact I scared the jeebus out of one of my nabours a few years ago when she was in a foul mode - and I kind of had a 3 stage anger attack - to wake me up 8 in the morning for something that I do not have anything to do with are not a good thing, even if I am in a good mood - something I was not that morning - and I kind of told her that - that I was not amused by her knocking on my door 8 in the morning (she is a little nuts)... It took her many mounts to dear to say hello to me again....
I like to think I have been able to write a better english now than when I started back in the days - english is not that difficult to learn - even if it have its drawback - specially if you try out some of the more complicated english words - then I'm at a loss rather easy... But thanks to my old trusted dictionary I'm able to at least write a better english now than I started out writing here on DU..
Latin is a language difficult to learn - even if it one of the building blocks for most europan languages - that be the latin ones - or the germanic ones - who got influenced by Latin often by the Catholic Church - who was often the only place you could get education at all for centuries in Europe... I'm afraid I'm not good in latin - even though I did educate myself some latin who I then forgot. But it is always a good thing to at least be able to learn - to educate yourself is also a way to make yourself a better person
Cheers to a happy new, and healthy 2015 - and a merry christmas for you and your family big or small
