Sorry GR what did you say?

Didn't you want "Konnichiwa" in Japanese? You don't need a Jap kbd.

Probably because it is an easy and practical language with a nice sound that can be learnt by foreigners to almost perfection, bar the pronunciation. Long, difficult words can be shortened at wil for aesthetic reasons too.

Even in these kind of topics you say nonsense

Those countries that have a lot of English speakers are mostly the former British colonies. Beyond this, English has become more widespread the last decades due to the fact that USA has culturally and technologically dominated the world, in a similar way that anceint Greeks had done some 1000s years ago.

It has very little to do with the easiness of English, and absolutely nothing to do with how nice it sounds, somehting which is totally subjective. Personally I much prefer the sound of Italian, French, Portuguese and some of the Slavic languages.

Spot on!

Actually I had never appreciated the sound of the English language before...

You are so right!

French is so rapid, Italian so forceful, German so guttural, Greek so variable, Turkish so disgusting, Chinese so unique etc.


Yeah Bananiot, you have hit the nail on the head!

You are beyond reproach. You have no understanding the beauty of languages. Had you said anything positive about the Turkish Language I would have been shocked. You live up to your lowly reputation. Now crawl away OrPh.

Bill,you're forgetting one thing - Cyprus is a British Commonwealth member state!

As I said although you were obviously not listening ~ I don't think most Cypriots are to keen on their commonwealth roots so stop upsetting people with your comments that British rule is best

Why don't you go & catch crabs - the ones that hide in the area around your nuts?

Been there ~ done that.

Big juicy blood sucking bastards from France when I was on a student grape picking holiday in the south of France.

BUT at least I've traveled a bit unlike you ~ to quote rawk " the nut from the lower hut.

I'll take a piccy of my 1890 Queen Vic one piastre coin sometime today and post it on the forum just so you can cream your jeans over this wonderful bit of commonwealth history even though I don't think Cyprus was actually part of the commonwealth at that time .

Bill ~~~ lic ing cath for a change
