I used to chat on IRC a lot (a few years back) and there was a guy in one of the channels I chatted in that was from I think Norway or somewhere close to that and in one of our conversations I said something about being a "fuddy-duddy" Well his english wasn't all that great at that time and he didn't understand what that term was. I had a heck of a time explaining what it means in english and trying to convey that meaning to what he would understand in his language. It got pretty funny. But then the thing to remember, I'm sure either one of you have expressions in your country that would be totally confusing to me. What I enjoy most about chatting on here as well as in IRC is being able to meet and talk with people from all over the world, learning things from them, getting to know them and seeing how we may be different in some ways, we're still all the same where it counts, In our hearts and souls :)
I only wish I could speak another language, I feel as though I really screwed up in school when I could have taken a course in one. Also in 47 years of life, I've never once been out of the USA, another sadness I regret. 
Oh well, there's something to look forward to in my next life :)
