I've been lurking here for sometime and decided to register. It's nice to know that there are a few safe havens for reason on the Web. A few other forums I've joined seem to have had too much nuttery going on for my liking (and I'm allergic to nuts), so I thought that a change of scenery would be good for me.
Anyway, from what I've been reading here, everyone seems to be nice and... Aw, hell.
I really don't know what to write in introductions, so I'll just say, "Hello, everyone! I'll be pleased to meet you!"

Quote from: "McQ"Hey, just appreciating the pronunciation, that's all. I can't be the only one, I hope.Ah! So, do you like the sound of the French or Walloon languages?

Nope again.
Be'nwah balls. I can't type in the IPA because I haven't looked up how to do that yet, but that's a close enough approximation.

I was right: you do have an affinity for French/Walloon. Those languages have a certain pleasant ring to them, do they not?

Sorry if I made you feel I was going round and round with you. I didn't want us to feel like we were hanging on strings...
