I speak 4 languages!!!
:Dutch, English, American and I dabble in Art... Although sometimes I suspect that I make the most sense when I try communicate with the last.
... and no, I never have issues with English, they solely arise in my dealings with the utterances I see transofrormed into grotesque scribbles without "u's" and "z's" instead of "s's".
And now for your entertainment only:
The New EEC Language
Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC, theEuropean Parliament has commissioned a feasibility study in ways ofimproving efficiency in communications between Government departments.
European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is unnecessarily difficult - for example, cough, plough, rough, throughand thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes to iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, beadministered by a committee staff at top level by participating nations.
In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's' instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities would resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced by 'k' sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this klear up konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters kould be made with one less letter.
There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it kould be announsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'.This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty per sent shorter in print.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.
We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and writ as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years sins the skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps sutsh as replasing 'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w' kould be taken on by 'v', vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o kould bedropd from words kontaining 'ou'. Similar arguments vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a reli sensibl riten styl. After tventi yers zer vud be no mor trubls, difikultis and evrivun vud fin it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drems of the Guvermnt vud finali hav kum tru.

Welke dan want in Bukarest (wilde een nieuw puntje op je landkaart creeren) kan ik echt niet lezen wat er staat. En in mijn idee spreek je een tal pas echt als je er een telefoongesprek in kunt vooeren, dus zonder de hulpmiddelen van hoofd, handen en voeten.
Het schijnt dat SMS ook een taal is dus misschien wel 5??
Liefs Papa ;)

I stand in awe of all 4 of your talents Meike (oh you forgot to add in 'writing' as well).
Nothing is safe anymore. Or save.
Run for your lives. Or life.

The only problem with the new european version of english is that if you would try to read it aloud, you'd sound like a dutch person trying to speak english!!!
