Hilde Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ah, think there was a compliment in there But, srsly, I haven't used spoken English other than the occasional American nun, or in school when it was required. If I were to say folks(folk is pronounced the same in Norwegian and German by the way) I think it would sound like the fire dude; Guy Fawkes was it? Regarding written English, aifink the internetz can has both positive and negative effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
