Well, for the majority of my life, I had no need to learn any other languages, as everyone I knew spoke English... So being monoligual (is that really a word?), didn't bother me none, but, if I am going to go visit any other country (even if the other country is England) then I would be more comfortable being able to communicate using the language there...

True that most in this country are what could be considered immigrants, but, not choosing to learn different languages doesn't mean that we're wasting knowledge. Did you have to learn a different language in order to watch television?... Did you have to learn a different language in order to use your phone?... Did you have to learn a different language in order to use your computer?... More than likely, the answer to all of these is "no". Learning another language is a choice, & if you don't speak to others people who know that other language, knowing that other language is a waste, since that would mean that you learned it for no reason. I tried to learn YOUR language, but, I couldn't as I don't have the discipline to do so, just like I didn't learn French nor Spanish when was in high school... Being an immigrant doesn't make someone a piece of s**t, what makes someone a piece of s**t is their own personal actions. Not one country on this planet can honestly say that there are no immigrants living there, especially when it's been proven that the very first humans were from the same exact place, so, if you want to be real about it, only one place in the entire world can honestly say that at least "SOME" of its inhabitants "might not" be immigrants... Now, moving on to more important things, how's your year going so far?... Also, I do apologize if I didn't spell that word correctly, as it wasn't one I had ever seen before, (which is odd considering how many people talk about being bilingual...)...etrom toa it is a word if you write it like i did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolingualismyou americans are piece of s**t. a nation of immigrants from all over the world, and yet are happy speaking only one language. and you guys are wasting knowledge.

OK, I'll bite, why are you dead inside?... Also, I've thought about what you said all those months ago, & now I have a question about that whole translation thing... You speak (I think you said) 5 different languages at one point (I didn't go back & check, so it may have been less that you said, so I may be thinking of someone else who said 5), why didn't you contact someone & give them the proper translations if you knew that they had the wrong ones? You're a smart person, so I'm sure that you could convince them of that...etrom toa i am dead inside. the only setting is ok

It wouldn't let me quote you for some reason... I couldn't ever imagine having to do such a thing, mostly due to the fact that when I make music, do a painting, write a poem, create a sculpture, etc, it's not usually based on another form of media, however... If I'm asked to play a specific song, paint/draw/sculpt a specific person/place/thing, or asked to recite poetry made by someone else, then I guess that could be somewhat slightly similar, though not nearly enough to say I understand where you're coming from, as much as being able to relate to what's been said...

Or maybe I am dead, & my brain just won't realize it until it's too late, & my body starts falling apart from decay...etrom toa you not dead yet? amazing

Oh, I been alright, just been too busy to do anything fun, sadly, not one thing has actually gotten me a job, it's just been a bunch of odd-jobs that people need done, without it actually turning into anything permanent (& yeah, the irony of the term odd-job, when they don't usually lead to getting an actual job, is not lost on me...), but hey, as long as my bills are paid, & I don't have to go on welfare, nor do anything illegal to survive, I'm fine... How about you?...etrom toa easy to check. how have you been?
