Actually I've heard that Americans value education highly, even more than in many other Western Countries, cheer up Stargirl :wink:

I'm also on language board in my school, so while I study many languages I'm lousy at maths :lol:

i wish they paid you to travel. :evil: harumph. well good news is i may be coming to europe for the first time ever in june. :D :D :D :D to paris actually. but maybe england aswell, i hope....

and yes about the education in us, thats a very big misconception, im sure some of the states have good funding, but i live in land of the governator, where we have mr-weight-lifter-wemon-molestor to "governate" us. and were having a lot of school funding issues. oh no the elections in 28 days, *shakes*

Sorry for the bad language, the thing is the forum had a little wisit from the 'girl from hell' last night. The only thing she did was barraging endless topics, mostly about nothing. But she was writing a topic about something considering the books in FAQ category or whatever... almost like she was just randomly clicking and typing.
Then she started to act like a total you-know-what when she noticed that her topics were consantly getting locked, and started to call us meanies, that we were so mean to her and blahblahblah!
THEN she wanted to really get down on us by saying that we were treating her like a 5 year old but she actually is 13 and continued to write stupid things.

I had been watching that oddness going on and saw that people here were constantly telling her that she was putting useless topics in completelly wrong categories over and over again. She kept going on so I desided to try and drive her off by posting a reply with rather cruel curses things that I thought would shut her up.
Normaly I don't say such things to a anyone, but it's been a long time since I've seen such a jerk before.

I also won't be telling you what a 'tussa' is, Dæmon seems to have found out what rotnaðu í helvíti means.

I love ya all and I will never do this again, also if some posts that I write sound a little harsh it's just because of lack of vocabulary, I'll never be rude to ya on purpose.

I too know what the last thing means.
I think I know what 'tussa' means, but I'm not sure.. Don't think I'll even guess, in fear of making an utter fool of myself..:P

Well, 'tussa' is a positivelly disgusting word for a girl that is pissing somebody off. It's probably got something to do with horses or cows, but I don't study bad language so I don't know where it comes from :wink:

How can something be positively disgusting? :wink:
In Norway tussa (or tusser) is a word for small people from legends, living in the mountains. Little hairy trolls.

When you call somebody a tussa around here, the meaning is something close to the word BiTcH in english, but it's like a floor higher in offendism, cause we have a word actually means bitch, it's normally used for female dogs but when, for example, two girls get angry at each other and start fighting.
Tussa however can be used for both guys and girls, at least i've seen guys call somebody they don't like by that name. Then what you can do in icelandic is add something to the word, in doing so make it longer and make it more offendable, like: þurrkuntutussa. THAT one I promise I won't translate.

Good on you, brynjarbjorn. hee.

I know...one language fluently [English], one language ALMOST fluently [French], and many others not well at all, but am working very hard on...[Dutch, Czech, Icelandic, German].

And I took a Latin class in school. It was kind of a waste of time...but we'll see if that changes.

I speak English, Swedish, French and German, and I speak none of them fluently. The more languages I learn, the worse I get at the others. My pronunciation gets worse. My spelling gets worse. And often, I try and say the word I want to say in about 3 languages at once. Eventually I won't be able to speak at all.

i guess im one of those uneducated americans, lol. I only speak english as a language, but my entire family on my dads side speaks spanish, they were all born in perto rico, execpt my dad, well and me too. But i do know a little bit of spnaish but for the life of me i can speak it good, lol. I also know some italian from my moms side and i learned it in school but i dropped the class b/c i just couldnt get it. Im not very good when it comes to learning another language.

Also i think its awsome that you might be goin to europe stargirl, thats go cool. I wish i could travel there, i have a list of all the places i want to travel to in my lifetime. Im planning on gooing maybe to london the summer b4 college.
