And if you think the French are messed up with the way their sentences translate... try going through a day and take every sentence that is said in English literal... we have so much slang that i'm surprized anyone can learn our language, because nothing is ever what it literally means.
ie.. What are you up to? He went off on him. and there are lots more but its too early to think of anymore... lol
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
