I find the thing about English that annoys most other Europeans is that fact that we have no dedicated future tense. Odd that, isn't it?

Have you ever wondered ....Why it is that to stop Windows, you have to click on Start?

I love language ... ours is such a mishmash of Latin, Anglo Saxon, French, and God knows what else, you wonder how foreigners ever learn it. And spelling!!! And idioms!

Not having Windows, that passed over my head....

Yes, think that is why some find it so hard. We have to rely on emphasise and understanding which is difficult if you are learning a new language.

Good Lord - I didn't notice that. It's had quite a big response, but I'd not noticed the number of views!
