shhhhht Barta
It was worth a try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

Besides. In Belgium you need a Dutch and a French part to be PC anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

In Belgium, the dutch speaking people refuse to talk in french, they prefer to talk in english. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />


They don't refuse to talk in french.
They are just (a little) better in typing in english.

Maybe they need a teacher from France to help them talk in french. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

@Lynn
I agree with Morbo. You can move this now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@Alrik
We get 4 or 5 Dutch tv stations here. And they often have good things on. But I hate that they dub movies.
It looks/sounds so silly when you suddenly hear american actors you heared often before speak in a differend tongue.
And they translate all to German but the names of the cities stay the same and they also still talk about dollars...
It's like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
I prefer subtitles any day.
Germany isn't the only country where they do that though.
It's also scary in other languages. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

@Ube
Americans often can't even understand their own language.
There's so much difference between suthern and northern states... And then I don't even talk about fi Cajun or slang. Slang that is different in different states too.
Most of us know the more "decent" american. But I can asure you that I can get lots of americans to talk to you and that you won't have a clue about what they're talking about.
In England prenounciation is important. An old fashion sign of class even. In the USA much less.

To give you a very nice example...
What's the difference between hot and cool?
In USA some ppl will say something's cool while other will say it's hot. And they mean exactly the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And I'm good example too. With my mix of english, scottish and american. And every now and then even a bit of australian. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

*edit*
@Ube... was that your french teacher? None respectable english teacher would say such a thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
