Hi Stellan
The English language is the "Universal" language....
It is very flexible and descriptive and if you can't find one word to use there are 6 others that are close or have similiar meaning..
It has become this way from the theft and bastardization of words from all the other languages in the world..
A common Engish word in use every day is not English at all but every one knows what it is..Volvo
You certainally and no other poster that I have seen on MLU (And I made the third posting after Jeff and his son on this forum) that is not a (English first language poster) have always been able to be understood by me..
I haven't been able to be posting in any other language on any other forum so people that can speak more than one language are extreamly fortunate,in my estimation..
Why we can even understand our noble moderator when he posts ,half in the bag...so that is a bonus..I think he posts in English most of the time..
