Your English is quite good. You make the effort to avoid spelling mistakes, and that's a great start! I wish more people had your skills! The main improvement would be (as you know) the structure of the sentences.

For example, and it is a common one I see in people who are learning English:

Incorrect: "I was just graduated from a college"
Correct: "I just graduated from a college"

Personally, I'd HATE to try and learn English. I had enough problems at school with it, and it's the only language I know!

As a member of the family that made Altavista I will prefer if everybody stopped using google, as this does not give my family any money.

Thanks, Skuzzo!
Now I find the weakness in my English. I will make efforts in the structure of the sentences.

It's just a Norwegian trying to be funny, which is a genetic impossibility. :wink:

Damn online translators... I get:
"Jupp. it was a gallows humour just like that we grasping to compares you along with a little jævler at breed rautene skinkeryttere"

Which as near as I can get means something like:
"Jupp. It was just a cheap joke aimed at the stereotypes about the way your countrymen speak".

Like I said - Norwegians ain't funny. Swede's on the other hand, they're a riot. :wink:
