Well done ladies!

And WA - your English is about a zillion times better than my Norwegian so deep respect! We can follow the story fine and that's far more important than the odd typo or wonky grammar so don't fret about it

Hehe, cheers Jan

Yes, the problem with being English is we don't feel the need to learn everyone else's language, as everyone else learns ours! I taught myself G C S E German at a good standard, not that I can understand it now, but I can READ and PRONOUNCE it, so when I read a German sentence I could be unwittingly saying: The Butterfly pulled it's trousers up and decided that he wasn't going to the convention for the preservation of the rights of the moth!

Hmm, I wonder what that IS in German?

Oh and thanks Jan!

The Butterfly pulled it's trousers up and decided that he wasn't going to the convention for the preservation of the rights of the moth!

Hmm, I wonder what that IS in German?

German:

Der Schmetterling zog seine Hosen hoch und entschied sich, dass er nicht an die Versammlung der Erhaltung der Rechte des Mundes gehen würde.
(It's a direct translation. Doesn't really make any sense in german )

Swiss German:

Dä schmätterling het sini Hose ue zogä und het sich defür entschide, dass er nöd a d'Versammlig vo dä Erhaltig vo dä Rächt vom Muul wird gah.
(And that's just one dialekt. We have loads of 'em)

By the way, I just continued with the thread. It's real fun!

Good for you Cheery - I will get back in there again some time soon-ish (I hope)
