- I’m not actually a horse. -

Part of me is eased, part of me is disappointed – but I guess, it somewhat facilitates communication …Long live IDIC! :)

Danke,

I must say your English and comprehension of slang and context is very impressive. I’m always impressed to find someone who knows more than one language. My wife is Hispanic and I marvel at her ability to switch back and forth.

We shall speak.

Andy, that’s a nice mixture. You’re right, it’s always good to know the positive things in a foreign language first. But there also are some nice German curse words, we better not go into here. Never mind about Hogan’s Heroes – we all have some dark, hidden places in our souls. ;)

My knowledge of the English language mainly originates from school, Beatles songs, and Star Trek. This should explain one or two things.;)

It wasn’t me who spoke of the chat forum; I think it was Denise – but I understand it’s the button on the right at the top of the page. Would be nice to eventually meet you there.

Iowagirl,

I’m German and Scotch/Irish but I think I understand you said you’re doing fine. About the extent of my German is ser goot, das ist richtig and so forth and whatever German phrases are periodically notated on music..

A friend of mine from Germany has pointed out at least I know positive things. I didn’t learn the curse words first. He’s embarrassed that most of my perception of Germany came from Hogan’s Heroes as a kid. I have pointed out to him I realize it’s a TV show.

Where is the general chat forum you spoke of?

#26 Jimtibkirk — there’s no guarantee Ledger will be nominated (though it’s looking likely), and even if he is, there’s no guarantee he will win. After all, Dean didn’t win either of his noms. Neither did Jeanne Eagels for “The Letter,” Spencer Tracy for “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” Ralph Richardson for “Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes,” or Massimo Troisi for “The Postman.” In fact, Peter Finch is the only actor to have won a posthumous Oscar. In the 79-year history of the Oscars, those are the only actors posthumous to have received posthumous Oscar noms (the last was Troisi in ‘95), so it’s not exactly “cliched” for the Oscars. :)

Thanks a lot, Tango. I’m actually German and I’m living in Germany – I’ve chosen my name with reference to Kirk’s future birthplace. But I’m still honored. :)
