Here's a thought .....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

Facts: :1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Australians, British or Americans

e allora, meglio parlare italiano!!

[katiemorris]

What? What? What? I know no language other than English. I am a turd. The only French I know is "Eifell Tower", and the only Italian is "Vino". I am a sad, totally illiterate (where languages are concerned) person. Help me out here and tell me what you said?

[asphodeline]

Hee! You're not alone!

It says "so better to speak Italian" and that way you get the unlimited wine too!

[katiemorris]

Okay, I give up. What bloody language is that? I would guess Russian? And what does it say?

[widget_alley]

Muy bueno, soy seguro.

(Only not really, since I'm hardly fluent.)

[katiemorris]

"hardly fluent" is better than me, dearest. What the bloody hell did you say? And in what language?

[widget_alley]

Thank you, but I'm quite sure you could learn if you were so inclined.... I said "Very good, I'm safe", in Spanish. (And, I would just like to point out, that American character maps have no Spanish exclamation points, which is deeply annoying.)

[katiemorris]

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with the "so inclined" comment. I've NEVER been one for languages, even French, and I am suitably ashamed. Every time I call another county the receptionist of whatever company it is speaks better English than I do her language and it embarrasses me. And so it should.

*hangs head in shame* and hums under breath: "the English, the English, the English are best, so UP with the English and DOWN with the rest!" - Flanders and Swann, the 1960s. That's a quote from a song - a taking the piss song, but very funny nevertheless, don't get mad.
