I'm curious…

Brussels, Belgium (I speak Français too).

Corvallis, Oregon (US)

Je aussi parle Français... si pas bien.

hello Jasper.

You should know that french is a garbled language... when you think french, you should invert all the words, nearly

I too speak french

je parle aussi francais

simple. Just try to be logical, then revert all your logic. Like if you try to think 'womanish'.

sorry. I like women.
They are so useful.
sorry again.

psitticine: I'm from County Derry - up north, just the other side of the border from Donegal. Of course, being on the other side of the border I never learned Irish, something about which I am pretty regretful. So a PBeM game in Gaelic wouldn't do me too much good!

Where in Donegal do you hail from? (my mother's hometown is Moville [sp?], up in the northeastern corner of Donegal)

I know at least _that_ much. ;-) I was trying (and failing!) to make a small joke...

Thanks for the tip though; I know some people get offended when their language usage is corrected, but I find it's the only way to improve.

yes I hesitated a bit but I knew you would react intelligently, which is, for an American a ra.. oops sorry.

My family came from a place called St. Charles, which may no longer exist. We've got loads of records all pointing to a place that doesn't seem to be on any modern maps.

But with a name like that, and being it is/was in Donegal, maybe they just renamed it to something Gaelic.
