Whatever you do, try not to lose any more friends.

Nice tape mix, btw. I'm going to fashion one after it, meself, I thinks.

^ wait where are you from?
i thought you were english.


i always thought english was hard to learn because the way the verbs are conjugated is totally ass-backwards.

i might also note that even though i am going to amsterdam soon i am going to make absolutely no attempt to speak dutch because they all speak english anyway and i can't pronounce any of that shit.

I think conjugation is hard in any language, but I don't know if English is specifically difficult. I know English is hard to spell and impossible to pronounce because it's so random and non-standardized, but the non-standardized thing probably applies to conjugation and FUCKINGDAMMIT my clothes keep falling off the back of my chair.

the way verbs are conjugated in spanish, french, etc is almost completely standardized save for a few irregular verbs. also there are things called false cognates (two words in separate languages that sound the same but mean different things rather than the same thing as they usually do) that may confuse non-native speakers when trying to learn english. the way verbs are conjugated in english is completely random, unlike almost any other language, which would make it difficult to learn.

[acousticrock87]

True, but just about every other thing about the language is random too. Except word order, maybe, but even that has unlimited exceptions depending on emphasis and stuff.

In all seriousness, take it as a not-so-subtle continued chastisement of the choices I see etc etc, refer to earlier posts.

I'm sorry for anybody who loses a friend but you make it seem like it barely fazes you. You trivialize the true meaning of friendship and loss. And we're supposed to be broken up for you? Give me a break.

Anyway, have a great trip.
