Me too, but I suppose that's not a very good excuse- In English we twist around sentences, have different spellings for alot of words, spells things how they're not pronounced and have strange sayings like mataphors and similies :fou2:

Indeed, and some say English is equally bad. We also have silly rules like where to put 'was' and 'were' in different contexts, and also 'been', 'went' and 'gone' - some wouldn't see the difference. Plus we have double meanings for words only making things more difficult.

Oh, that. Seriously, I can't stand that. You have to rephrase the whole sentence to try and make out what's being said, and I'm really bad at unraveling sentences and suchlike :sad:

My girlfriend says she was brought up from a Shakespeare background, so she has no problem with interpreting the language. But I do... oh hell I do.

I´m currently expanding my linguistic skillz (lol just making up words to sound more clever) by learning Spanish. I did not want to learn Spanish, I wanted to continue learning French, but at least Spanish is easier... :/

To be honest I don't know. ^^ I suppose it means her family traces back right to relatives of Shakespeare, or even Shakespeare himself!

I doubt it, Shakespeare's kids all died of plague I think. :oops2:
In any case, I think you should ask her.
