How much French do you speak, Sarah? :P

It's a cool language. I love it. And in my opinion, extremely easy to learn. But pretty? No, not really.

Whatever my three years of taking it during high school taught me. I don't know what speaking it has to do with how beautiful I find it to be, though.

I just meant in regards to, 'how often have you heard it spoken?' sort of thing. Most people find French to be pretty because media tells them it's pretty.

I actually speak a good amount of French. Reason I decided to learn it back in the day? It was the trade language. Not because of how it sounds, or anything like that.

As for language, do hieroglyphics count as a language? I've always been partial to Egyptian times, hence one of my tattoos being an Eye of Ra.

I was referring to your tattoo.

[Beowulf]

Oh. Don't be jelly.

I tend to get tattoos of awesome.

Also on topic: Hieroglyphics is my favorite language. Think about how many stories were told, with those symbols? Maybe it's just because I'm a nerd, but I've always loved them.

I actually got to see some in person, once. I nearly died from excitement.

And since some people have mentioned French I must say that I hate that language.

International French sounds very different from what's spoken in Canada. It flows. Listen to someone from France, Africa, or Viet Nam speaking French and they don't sound like they're taking a dump the way French-Canadians do.

I actually don't disagree with you. But hearing people take a dump on the language my whole life (and I know people from Bathurst so I've seen some unbelievable troutting on the language) has kind of soured me on the language as a whole. I know it shouldn't be that way, but I can't help it.

French and French-Canadian and Canadian all suck and you all know it.

[Jiro]

Nonsense, the guy working at the hostel I stayed in at Jericho Beach had a smurfing awesome accent. Canadians are awesome.

[Clo]

Most definitely not.

You've just got bad eggs or something. I guess Australia and Canadia have always been bros though.

[Raistlin]

Eh?

There are more different Canadian accents than there are different British accents.

For that matter, Nova Scotia alone has at least 3 different British-sound-alike accents that I can think of off the top of my head; Haligonians tend to sound (BBC) English, valleyfolk (South Republic) Irish, Cape Bretoners (Glaswegian) Scottish, plus two distinctly Nova Scotian accents around New Glasgow and Musquodoboit Harbour, both of which sound quite British and have a lot of British slang, but don't match any particular part of the UK

A Newfoundlander and an Albertan sound nothing alike.

Most Ontarians don't have a Canadian accent at all; Even the ones without ethnic accents sound vaguely Jamaican to me.

[Jiro]

Even Australia has a variety of accents but I like to generalise because it's easier and sometimes annoys people

[Citizen Bleys]

it annoys me you ass
