Being french too, I meet same problems like you KCC...

But I can see you are using more words like me.
So, I read the first page of this subject puzzled by the title.
It's difficult to translate and I was stopped by my unknowledge of the word "asshole" you used to describe yourself. It seemed I saw already this word anywhere but I forgot it...

Naturally, I wasted 20 minutes to find the little dictionary wordbook I have got long time ago. After disturbing spiders to find this book, I didn't find this word within...

I considered then Google could help me so and, like I have a little speed network (eight KiloBytes per seconds max), and Google didn't want to give me the translation after 5 minutes of waiting in the wind.

Also, the engine of research of the pictures of Google didn't find any documents about asshole too...

So, I phoned an american woman who gives me a strange answer: she laughs... Only laugh... And shut down her telephone directly... I think even I could not phone her now.

Finally, I would like you tell me what is it. I know "black hole" which is the name of a very strange object in the space which attracts everything so strongly that the light is caught too. Is asshole like a star?

PS: I waste 20 minutes too to find the paper where is written my password and to play a little game I must do before logging in. Very hard work for 2 frenchs who are talking in an english subject... You can tell me via pm, it will be more simple...

"Asshole"...huummm how can i explain in my poor english. :oops:
In fact, normally its the organ, you use for go out all the bad things....you are seated on it now :mrgreen:

But for KCC, it's the organ he use the most...but for talking and say too much bullshit, without realizing it really has :oops:
It's the reason why, KCC say he is a "Asshole" of the programming at him all alone :D

I am loving Kwai and have no problem with his language skills... weird... though they sometimes are! :D But that is OK... that is the flavor of KCC!!! AND the delightful impracticality I sometimes read in Olliv...

8) I wear my sunglasses cause they can be so cool!

I just hold on to the edge of my monitor and follow them down the rabbit hole...

(Plus I have ESL experience attempting to decode my wife's Chinese English...)

Believe me, on the french forum, we are laughing at him to.

Even though english is widely used for international communication, french education lack at teaching it properly (and at young age), so you can't expect us to speak a proper english. I learned everything I know by watching american TV shows but native english aren't especially gifted when it come to learn foreign language either (Some of my friends back in Tokyo were speaking some hilarious japanese), so we should not be ashamed :twisted:

I think Kwai doesn't mind, he's happy making us happy.

As a sidenote, and triggered by the keyword 'asshole', are you aware that we, human beings, are of a pathetic design? Either that, or the creator was on a budget when having the designwork done... I mean, who's gonna' put sewer system and entertainment center that close to eachother?!?

Apparently most people don't mind, because a lot of them use the systems interchangeably these days :shock:
