Ooops...see? I forgot sprechen was an irregular verb.

Certainly I will help. Your grammar is fine. Most of your "mistakes" are idiomatic, not grammatical.

unlike mine

No Bobo, your mistakes are not idiomatic. They are idiotic. There isa a difference!

Sorry Historiker,

I indeed meant to write "fast and loose". I was implying that you hadn't looked closely at the wiki data. The 9 million figure for German represented not unique words of the vocabulary, but words and word groups[!] including technical and scientific terms. McCrum et al. cites 500,000 words for English, 185,000 for German and 100,000 for French.

However, scholars certainly debate this subject due to differing definitions of a word. Some argue that Finnish, due to its structure, has an infinite vocabulary for example.

Hmmm... the BBC just had a celebration of adding the 1,000,000th word to the English language a couple of weeks ago.

Morning tithe... Leo, if you're going to send PM's, maybe you should consider having a non-full PM box yourself, no?

The answer is "sorry, you'll have to wait for the game", BTW...

It shouldn't have been full... strange...

Ahh... then you are to blame for nedless paper expenditure and damage to nature (i.e. for me to twice print the manual)...

Gah! You've done it to me now. Now I'll have to wait until I resume listening to "The Yellow Admiral" on the way home this afternoon. Although I might preceed it by "The Duckworth Lewis Method".

Doubly unfortunately, I've only got the chorus (the only bit of the song that anybody remembers). I'm trying to break the vicious cycle by changing it in my mind from "You are GOLD" to "We've gone GOLD"...
