Welcome to PF, Logik!
 
You'll be feigning illness more often now, ehh?

...or did this sickness occur after stumbling onto PF? :biggrin:
 
Welcome, Logik! What other languages do you use and where do you live? :smile:
 
Now now, let's not nosy, lol.
 
Why not? I love learning about other people! :smile:
 
good one BoulderHead... well I talk french, english, spanish, german but I'm not near being perfect in any of them as one of my teacher said once if you don't master your first language don't brag about being bilangual or trilangual (not shure about spelling) because your not... anyways not too shure what may point was but you that's me & I come from Montreal, QC, CANADA :P and one day I might be a physicist :) still in a dilema between physics & medschool :/ so hard to choose what your suposed to do for the rest of your life when there is so mutch to be done...

Welcome to PF logik!

You sound like you will fit right in. :approve:

P.S. - Don't worry about the spelling, quite a few of the people here whose first language is English can't spell (and they have no excuse). The spell check feature will correct some of the words, so feel free to use that.

I'm sort of new here too, and this forum is great! A ton of information...

Welcome!

Unless, like me, you are a REALLY bad speller, with a large vocabulary, then the sites spell checker is not so much help. I use a IE browser plugin called iespell which has a very good dictionary and is generally able to figure out what I mean, not what I spelled.

I don't think it's fair to count each spelling variant as a distinct word. :-p

Oops- Welcome to PF, Logik and scarecrow! :biggrin:

So that's why we have that.

Yup, first rule of PF: If something breaks blam greg.

Second rule: Even though its actually tribdog's fault

Franz meant to write "... it's actually ..." :smile:

Whoever said English grammar was logical?!?

Hi all, I also joined recently, but I can already say:

This forum is addicting :bugeye:
PF makes me think of many topics that I have never thought about.
You learn a lot.

Blam you, Gregg, blam you!

I second that.
