Exactly !



Gosh, beppe.... so you are indeed an easy lay....


Nope, you were right, as always. Not meshugge for a minute ....


I beg to differ.
Pratical, and straight forward, but beautiful... some can speak it beautifully, most cannot.


Sorry about that...


we are ruining you....


French is good for romancing,and delicious in bed if not using the dirty words. The dirty words are not nice, really not. German is not bad for f-ing (Anh, do not read that ), if like me you like understatement in bed (speaking German equals keeping the contenance, so it is... interesting). Spanish is the obvious, but superman does not want me to test that option. He does not speak Spanish, or really not well, so I'd need to find someone else for the test. The pool guy is not sexy at all, so that leaves the gardener (25, me almost 45, such a cliché though....)
yummy.
yeah i am an easy lay. i am easy.

no dirty words making love. just love.
This is my understanding of languages.
for singing Italian and English. the first has all the staccatos and it is so sweet. th second has all the legatures and the slurs, and is actually sexy. although ... German can be very very sexy in songs.

Spanish is so declamatory that seems the language for Theater.

Franch for poetry.

neither. as a matter of fact, not speaking is nice. thus the German. nope, too complicated to explain I realize now.
The quickies are nice with words though (Anh, since you are ruined anyway, I thought why refrain ), but there again, a long, long story for another post.

Beppe, you have to listen to that song, I just love it ! The text is very, very good (much more meaning in it than you'd first think)

Funny, I don't see Spanish that way.

It's a cute song. The last day. Once I was at a conference in Leipzig, just after the wall thing. The banquet was in a funny futuristic open space with small tables. a band of clowns started to go around playing that sort of crazy music. Whatever.

Quickies? what's that? ah the thing one does over the washing machine spinning. look there are minors around.

Come on, la declaration de my admiration, la mas profunda. soon it will be Monday, an iron day for me.

good night

Okay, all this language talk reminded me of of this video, you need to watch this whole thing... it really explains why English is so fun.

The Global Language Monitor announced that the English language had crossed the 1,000,000-word threshold on 10 June 2009.[79] The announcement was met with strong scepticism by linguists and lexicographers,[80] though a number of non-specialist reports[81][82] accepted the figure uncritically. However, in December 2010 a joint Harvard/Google study found the language to contain 1,022,000 words and was expanding at the rate of 8,500 words per year.[83] The findings came from the computer analysis of 5,195,769 digitised books. The difference between the Google/Harvard estimate and that of the Global Language Monitor is about thirteen thousandth of one percent.
Comparisons of the vocabulary size of English to that of other languages are generally not taken very seriously by linguists and lexicographers. Besides the fact that dictionaries will vary in their policies for including and counting entries,[84] what is meant by a given language and what counts as a word do not have simple definitions. Also, a definition of word that works for one language may not work well in another,[85] with differences in morphology and orthography making cross-linguistic definitions and word-counting difficult, and potentially giving very different results.[86] Linguist Geoffrey K. Pullum has gone so far as to compare concerns over vocabulary size (and the notion that a supposedly larger lexicon leads to "greater richness and precision") to an obsession with penis length.[87]

The modern German scientific vocabulary has nine million words and word groups (based on the analysis of 35 million sentences of a corpus in Leipzig, which as of July 2003 included 500 million words in total).[38]

Thank you very much, Beppe!
