I am pretty fortunate to be a native English speaker. The internets default language seems to be English.
Orrrr.... At the same time, its not a good thing since knowing a second language is always a benefit.
Try learning another language, it's really fun comparing rules in different languages that subtlety hint the ways thoughts are constructed in different cultures. E.g. reading translated version of Black Rain, the novel seems really plain and emotionally detached. However in Japanese, the exchange of simple words between people mean a whole lot than what it seems like on the surface. Like how "ai shiteru" literally means "I love you", which is what English speakers say everyday, but it actually means "OMG BBY I LUV YA SO MUCH SO PLSSSS PLSSS MARRY ME" and is rarely said compared to "suki" or just "like"
but everywhere in BL. I guess it's a rather "sensitive" language.
I don't understand why the French like to put their adjectives before the noun though, maybe the quality is more important than the subject?
Like who cares whatdafaq it is, as long as it's awesome!
Excuse my overuse of "like", I do that when I'm excited.
Edit: Chronofox, kawaii enough for you?
