Gakked from lindahoyland

I went and did the test. The results are below - and they are surprising, actually. I might been taught some British English in language school, especially where spelling is considered, but I actually learned the language by watching Star Trek and other American sci-fi shows in original.

The results:

You may speak English, but no one would mistake you for an American.
In fact, your English has a distinctly British feel, and it's likely that there is at least some UK influence in how you talk.

You probably think American English sounds awfully silly. What's up with calling that purple vegetable an eggplant?
And as far as you're concerned, most people are missing some vowels with their English spelling!

Heh! It must be the influence of you British guys on the Internet. That, and the books you made me read. *g*

Back from the trip

Kassa (Kosice) was quite the disappointment. It's a place every Hungarian should visit once a life, due to its historic significance - FYI, Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II, the one who led the great war for freedom from the Habsburgs in the 18th century and died in exile after half a century in Turkey is buried there - but that's about it. I don't care that it will be the world's cultural capital next year; it wouldn't be worth a second trip.

The Christmas market was barely worth the name. They sold about four types of food and mostly plastic decoration made in China. All in all, while the historic places were interesting and some of the buildings pretty, we have almost regretted to make the effort of the long bus trip.

I'm a but unhappy about it, as it was supposed to be Mum's Christmas present. *sighs*

Plea to flist

Dear folks, I know this is not nice to mention, but would you consider using the tag when making long entries or posting huge pictures? Since my latest computer crash, I've got a much slower browser, and waiting for all the pictures to load, so that I could scroll down to the bottom of the page for the next entry takes forever.

Sorry for the bitching. I'll shut up now. :(
