"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Although I feel I must point out that "when you speak English and French, German's not that hard" is utter bullshit.

It seems like it would be, Megan. Although I speak Spanish so it seems like I wouldn't have trouble with French or Italian. Comparatively. German has totally different rules.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"when you speak English and French, German's not that hard"

I know, WTF? It's hardly Spanish and Italian.

The romance languages completely crossover. So, as an editor, I could often help my Spanish colleague with questions and she could help with Italian and French, but my boss, who knows French, Italian, some Spanish and Russian (and even some German), still has problems with our German books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's not like it was Dutch -- is it even Dutch I'm thinking of? That often looks like weirdly-spelled English?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"when you speak English and French, German's not that hard"

SERIOUSLY THAT MADE NO SENSE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Uh, yeah.

Signed, formerly near-fluent in French but could never pick up a lick of German even though half my fricken' family spoke it and I could understand everything they said

hip deep in pie

So last week on White Collar we had Shelley from Twin Peaks, and this week we had Bobby - I recognized that asshole swagger right off. Funny.

THAT'S WHO THAT WAS!! I knew he was very familiar, but I couldn't place him.

Freaking word.
