excusez moi, mon francais est tres mauvais

I just love French with its male and female nouns, which often make no sense really... a vagina is a male noun, for example, while a testicle is female... nonsense...

Bonne nuit!

Ah yes I did study German for a year and found it to be even more confusing... Cuz not only there are as many tenses for the verbs, but there's those more modes as well (descriptive, inquisitive, something like that? It's all a long time ago...) I'll just stick to guten tag and ich liebe dich

All english words are neutral. whether it's a male dog or a female dog, you still use "a", basically in french and german there are different versions of "a" or "the", depending on the word you are describing... So a male dog is un chien, and a female dog is une chienne

And people complain English is tough

so what Black Yaris referred to as a neuter word is "a".

Dude, learn. If you have it there, play it... none of that "I don't have time" crap either, because you can get good at guitar playing 10 minutes a day for a long enough span of time... if you start NOW. Here is something I just recorded. Still rocking a $10 mic jacked straight into the computer (that is why they call it preproduction) so you may have to crank your crappy computer speakers to even hear it... I think its cool, though.

good stuff, and i'm assuming that's an electric guitar?
as for me, i have the 2 or 3 DVD's that came with my Estaben (spelling?) acoustic guitar, and i think i'll have some time over break, so i'm going to try it out. so far (and i already forgot) i could play the most known part of Fur Elise. lol...i need to learn the chords.
