I'm not really sure. I've got nothing better to do in my spare time, plus I've found Dutch Grammar, which is an awesome site on the subject.

I might even go there someday. Amsterdam looks nice... :D

What the heck is that supposed to mean? You speak "Canadian" ?

The primary/common spoken languages in Canada are English and French :roll:

But I don't know a single person who speaks French fluently where I am though..

<Canadian>
Everyone else knows nearly 3-5 languages, eh. I kinda thought it would be kind of funny since I only know one very fluently, eh.
</Canadian>

For those of use not speaking Canadian, I said:

NB: I have nothing against Canadians. They're actually quite friendly. Just a joke it is. :wink:

That was uncalled for... not funny.. :roll:

It's a common American exaggeration of Canadians, Like the ones where they think we live in igloo's and wear a touque all year round.. :roll:

LOL @Alboin and Brynet... I don't know where in Canada you are Brynet, but here on the west coast we actually make fun of central and eastern Canadian accents a lot. Like when the IT admin (who's from Ontario) says "server room", and it sounds like "server rum", I ask him to stop bogarting the Captain Morgan's. ;)
