You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when..

Simple explanations can sometimes still be hard to understand.

I just compared Sagacious' feedback to the taste you can sense when licking someone's arse. Why? Both are as equally discusting.

[FlameFlash]

That wasn't a simple explanation, that was a restatement of what you'd already said? What "feedback" are you referring to?

[Kassiopeia]

Ah... the asteroid heading for us? That is projected at the moment to be in my backyard in 17 years? It's right there on the OT front prage FCOL! It's nothing serious though, but I hope it'll prepare us for something similar in the future.

You're right, there is!

I've got the same 'problem'; I mix up know/now, hear/here, their/there etc. It's because one thinks in English. In my case that's rather worrying.

FlameFlash,

you're just right. It's a simple explanation to me, but not the others. Shame on me!

When you see a license plate reading EVC and the first thought to hit you is...........

[Rasbelin]

.........what the hell are you trying to say?

[MattyBoy]

Sagacious Dolphin, I didn't see the spelling error either.
That shouldn't make you feel any better, though - I'm as thick as 2 planks.

You stay in the chat even though your late for lecture

[Iskandar Reza]

Ok, I see the error now...

For those of you who are slow to catch on to the spelling error, like me, it's "You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when.."

That's more of a typo

[MattyBoy]

...you spell too much as "to much"

Do you pronounce now and know the same way? Or did you mean "no"?

[Mr. President]

I find that the only way to speak a language properly is to train yourself to think in that language. It takes me way too long to, say, think everything in English and then translate to Indonesian for speaking / writing. I just use the Indonesian words I know (which are, unfortunately, not all that numerous ) in my head from the start.

*nods* That's how I do it with my limited amount of German as well, Mr. President...

Of course, all I know are three languages (paraphrasing Fifth Element.)

English
Bad English
& Bad German
