Yes, i noticed. :"> I placed my answer in the Other in that one, but i'll repost it if you think appropriate. The work in the latter seemed not worth it to me, but i'm willing.
It's funny, because I was just talking about this earlier. Someone linked me to this flash choose-your-own-adventure game and it was only in German. I lamented that as it was flash I couldn't use a translator easily. Were it English or a romance language I could've read it satisfactorily. ... Obviously I could read it far better in English.
Did your poll from my fic-LJ, since that's what you friended, but this LJ (my main one) has the more appropriate icon for this comment. :)
Most of the languages I indicated knowing I learned because of traveling to where they are spoken and not wanting to be clueless in a foreign country as so many Americans are when abroad. Some I still use, thanks to Second Life, but my spelling is generally horrible now, since I mostly speak them and rarely write them anymore (plus type-chatters are generally pretty forgiving of phonetic spelling/netspeak and typos) -- the rest tend to be rather rusty, although I can brush up again if I needed to. (Years ago I also attempted Russian and Hebrew, but the alphabets confounded me too much. For some reason, I don't have as much trouble with that for Far Eastern tongues, strangely enough.)
