    I used my PC to watch TV from bed before sleeping and just set an auto shutdown so it would turn off after I fell asleep. Once I forgot to set the auto shutdown. So I did the only reasonable thing: I grabbed the laptop next to my bed, booted it, SSHed into my PC, shut it down remotely and then powered off the laptop. This was in the days of spinning hard discs and the entire scheme took at least 20 times as long as had I just gotten up, moved 1.5m (that’s 5 feet in freedom units) and shut it down directly.

    I guess I have my answer ;) I don’t know Russian but I know enough Ukrainian to know you’re talking about French and Italian, lol.

    I said that I hate French specifically and that I regret never having learned Italian properly. In German I said that I have no problem with learning new languages if it wasn’t for lack of time.

    Not quite sure what you hate accoustically about French, […]

    Reading and writing French is OK(ish, if I didn’t vocalize it in my head). I really hate the sound of that language. It sends shivers down my spine. I think for one thing I prefer harder/rougher sounding languages. Also, I’m an unforgiving person. We were told we can start learning a third language when we are in 7th grade. I was pondering whether to pick up Russian, Italian or Swedish. Then 7th grade comes around and the school’s like: Yah, you can choose between French and Latin. Well, fuck you too school. I hate our school system for this (and other reasons) to this day.

    but you seem to like German

    Being German, I’m kind of stuck with it. Not that I particularly dislike it, though.

    If you’re comparing to Spanish (among others), I guess the overall stressing of sounds in a sentence is pretty different, too.

    I dislike French, the language, not the people. I slightly dislike Spaniards, but not their language. Italian people speak loudly because they talk across the street. Spanish people do that while standing right next to each other. I think I’ll never get used to that.

    Also, what kind of French did you have to learn?

    French French.

    […] which tends to indicate you’re Canadian.

    Ha! Show me one comment where I apologized ;-)

    Friend of mine went to a school which fashioned itself as “the old school” (as in historically old school). They learned latin and old greek instead of anything useful. He was furious when he came back from vacation in Greece and he only found one person, an old professor in Greek history, who he could talk to.

    Tu détestes le français spécifiquement, ou juste le fait d’avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue?

    Я ненавижу французский конкретно. Я сожалею, что так и не выучил итальянский должным образом.

    Le français, je peux comprendre un peu, il y a quant même plusieurs spécificités étranges à cette langue.

    That accoustic dumpster fire shouldn’t even be referred to as a language.

    Détester le fait d’avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue, là je ne comprends pas du tout!

    Außer mangelnder Zeit habe ich kein Problem damit neue Sprachen zu lernen.
