In my defense, Fokker, I've tried learning a couple languages, but failed miserably because I'm terrible at learning systems that are purely arbitrary. 
When did the pot-smoking halfway-house guy (me) ever pretend he was cultured and refined?

Arbitrary? :s
Yeah, arbitrary. X means Y. Why? Because it does. Remember it.
The language includes Z rule when indicating whether speaking about yourself or someone else. Why? Because it does. Remember it!
etc.
Like in french?
Like in pretty much any system, unless you have some counterexample you can show.
you got a point there GL. I'll open a more serious language discussion in another forum tonight (if I find the time).

Math must be a bitch, then? It is for me. My math teacher hated "why?"
I can speak some french. I took 14 credits of it in college and my ex's first language was french. I'm able to read a book in it and know about 80% of what it's saying. But I'm certainly not fluent haha.
Actually, Bief, I have very little problem with math, oddly enough.
i speak ethipoian in clicks and tunge slaps
