I am sadly mono lingual much to the chagrin of some of my clients. What you said was technically correct, but it wasn't true: you told me you didn't speak German in German. I just made it more accurate for you. |

"Ich können nicht deutschen gesprächen", or some such... Only thing I almost remember from my German lessons.  "Nur die halbe Welt ist Teflon und Asbest der Rest ist brennbar und mitunter angezuendet ganz munter anzuschaun"  |

"Ich können nicht deutschen gesprächen", or some such... Only thing I almost remember from my German lessons. "Nur die halbe Welt ist Teflon und Asbest der Rest ist brennbar und mitunter angezuendet ganz munter anzuschaun" Seems like that first part says "I can not have spoken German" :/. Try "Ich kann sprechen nicht Deutsche". That's a bit better. |

The first part is google translator, I'm sure, since it sounds like a sentence half-finished at best. The rest ist funny, where is it from? For the I-don't-speak-it-speech: Shortest version would be "Ich spreche kein deutsch." (=I speak no german) Señor Goose, your sentence is in disorder. "Ich kann nicht deutsch sprechen." would be correct. And lose that e you always attach to deutsch.  |

I actually don't speak a lick of German, but I do have access to Google Translate. Also. I have stuff to be rated.

If we got our tenses mixed up Frau Schneider would rap us smartly across the knuckles with a ruler I'm kidding, that's completely illegal, she was a dear old thing. |

The text is from a Einstürzende Neubauten song. This one in fact: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDE1ClrbPzY |

Ah, Einstürzende Neubauten. Congratulations to your music taste. AVT: 7/10 - good looking, nice color enhancement, but for whatever reason, the buildings keep throwing me off. I know you said why you left them but.... TXT: na/10 SIG: 9/10 - downright wonderful. The only minor problem keeping it from 10/10 is it is (<-- really, English? Maybe there should be a 'that'...) not really conveying a great deal of your own personality. |

*Sniffles* Been lurking in this thread for two pages and I still haven't been rated! Why won't anyone give me some arbitrary numbers to validate (or destroy) my self worth? Also zimmyhooAvatar: Amazing! 10/10 Status: Does not compute. I give myself 5/10 for failing to understand. Sig: Like the sentiment, not so keen on the speaker: 7/10 |

I've considered changing my avatar, but I'm probably already more well known with my current one, and I don't want to disrupt it.

Helpful Zimmy being helpful! She looks beautiful in that picture. Well said. I love that picture. AVT: 10/10, first 10 I've given out anywhere. (I think, don't shoot yet) TXT: 8/10, cool parallelism, but like said before, trouble_maker is confusing. Also the last bit kinda detracts from it. SIG: 5/10, inspirational quotes bore me, even more so with the correct attribution and no misleading translations attached. *wink wink nudge* |

AVT: 8/10 I know that I am one of the many that didn't realize that was Serenity until you pointed it out.
TXT: 6/10 Interesting, but not really relevant.
SIG: 7/10 I failed Japanese once. I like the part I understand though.

In addition, good choice of name. Oh, just noticed this: Helpful Zimmy being helpful! She looks beautiful in that picture. Well said. I love that picture.

I was erasing Intelligence's post, and his AV first erased his head, then Coyote later. Taking a look at the bbcode confirms this. |
