Re: THE RANT THREAD!
See, this is one of the reasons I like our National Health Service. They might be taking FOREVER to treat my thyroid problem, but at least I get to wish death on folk without fear of the financial implications!! ^^
My rant is not quite a rant as it amused me a little. I get tongue tied when I pronounce some Japanese constructions, where there are lots of ku's te's and ta's close together. Usually, I'll slow my speech right down to say such words. After smugly saying 'atatakakunattekita'(1) perfectly at natural speed, beaming with pride, filled with confidence and a delusional belief that I'm almost fluent now, I soon totally ballsed up an attempt at 'seikatsu ga kisokutadashikunatta' (2). If I weren't bloody stubborn, I swear I'd cut my losses and go back to learning German instead. Or maybe take my mum's advice and polish up my English!!
(1) it's got warmer.
(2) my life's become more stable. (Although gods only know what I really said).
