someone from this forum sent me a message telling me that quite should be spelled quiet
dude those are two different words, im not a native english speaker and yet i know those are 2 different things
according to my babylon dictionary and the oxford one
those are different words, so i'll be grateful if people wont sent me emails about my gramar, especialy when theres no mistake

Quite...
(Sorry - couldn't resist!)
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.

zep: well my brother in moderation (heheheheh)... I'm glad to see that the power hasn't gone to your head... and made you edit your original post fixing your spelling of grammar, and then delet Schamages post (and my one)... thus covering up the embarasment... I'm not suggesting anything... :)....
I'm quite impressed with your English actaully... you speak it better than some poeple round here who've been "speaking" (in a kind of a pirmal grunting way) all of their life... MY spelling is pretty poor, but that's really cos i type like the wind...

I have respect for anyone who learns English as a second language . . . because it's hard! (maybe not as hard as Chinese or Russian, but still . . .)

You're doing great, Zep!

chineese is pretty simple - my aunt has been learning it for a while - the grammar n stuff is much easier than the english or german (my mothertounge is german) one. The only tricky thing is to learn all the thousands of characters... after about a thousand she gave up *LOL*
