As someone who does four languages at school and is doing awfully at three of them, I am in awe of those people

I think doing four languages at school is quite impressive Aman, I'm doing three and that's by far enough (but I'll end up adding Russian to my burden in two years time I fear. And I study Quenya...). English is my second language, and sometimes it fails me completely, mostly in the way that I'm not able to express myself and end up not writing the stupid post. I don't think I have too many misspellings, because I already feel stupid enough when I have trouble expressing myself, so I try to check the spelling and grammar on the things I do write.

The thing that annoys me most about chatese, isn't that it makes the writer seem a bit more stupid than he/she probably is, but the fact that I often have a lot of trouble understanding it... I understand Norwegian chatese (at least to some extent), but English? As I said, I've got enough with ordinary English.
