Perhaps you (and other Loopers using >English >as a second language) can comment upon the proliferation of u, b, 2, cuz, >wuz, etc. and how it makes you feel? those are not so difficult for me, because I can hear the sound and interprete. Its rather the strange phrases and acumulation of "smart" expressions. In other words I probably would not understand those guys speaking, unless they would maybe speak differently to me, aware of the problem... btw: I was not complaining about this list, this time. In the past I had serious problems, now I feel fine. Maybe because I got used to some expressions, but also because you guys behave! :-) >dB >Douglas Baldwin, coyote-at-large >coyotelk@optonline.net -- ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org
