The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!
I'm the least you could do
If only life were as easy as you
I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
If only life were as easy as you
I would still get screwed -
Not to defend my english skill (that, however I agree need to be improved) but I think that the main problem is the lack of mimic on the net, apart from the one provided from the smileys. That's not enough sometimes

Lack of mimic?
Err... afraid I'm not following you here.

...nah, Drizzt took English as a Silly Language.
How else could he get away with that stuff?
mimic = humor
...earning his count in laughs is just as valid as tech-wiz I'd say...
...this is Soap Box, or did I wander in the wrong thread?
...and he did warn us "Stupid and Bad Jokes" and it was we who couldn't resist...
Ha! ...love it!How can you possibly take anything seriously?
Who cares?Comment

Gurm, I think he meant you can't see him smile, laugh at you, cry out in pain because some lizard kicked him in the nads for his comment... whatever

Az, if the word is wrong how could you understand what I meant?
(I know I need a dictionary, but I can't use one here at work )

In german, the word you wanted to use is "Mimik"
The translation would be "facial expression".
Anyone know a good online italian-english dictionary for Drizzt?

It has got me out of a few spots in the past though - I was in a travel agent's in Latin America, speaking v. little spanish, and the tour operator was speaking v. little (i.e. none) english. He had a computer connected to the web on his desk, and so I pointed him at babelfish and off we went.
Quite a surreal expereince really. And whilst the quality of the translation was shocking, it got our meanings across. And actually, typing what we wanted to say out usually meant that we didn't need to translate - we each understood enough spanish/english to read, but not to hear.
He loved me for showing him the site. Didn't give me any reductions though

...speaking of fish
What do you call a fish with no eye? A Fsh.
A man walks into a 'chip shop and says
"Fish and chips twice please." An angry response came back
"I heard you correctly the first time".Its allways funny, until someone looses an eye.Comment
