I wish they would have taught foreign languages in all our school systems, but they just don't. It is much harder to learn them when you are older. Learning multiple languages when you are young changes the way you think and it is one of many things our current totally worthless school systems are lacking.

Well, as I've been told countless times by my seniors, everything gets tougher as you get older, wouldn't you agree?

As for our school system, I don't know what it's like where you are, but after realising how bad my education was, I have taken it upon myself to strive towards lifelong learning and showing my kid that learning can not only be fun and existing, but it's absolutely essential and is limited only by one's attitude. Sounds hokey, but whatever.

Perhaps Apple is no longer a good example. Not recently, but in the past I've had a fair number of questions result in the lower ranking rep having to ask a person at the Genius Bar. I'd think 'I've got them stumped', but the' Genius' always knew the answer.

Android FTW! Done using apple since last year. Huge fan of the moto products. Waiting patiently for the second gen moto X.

Multiple languages are key. I'm Canadian born to Greek parents and they were insistant I learn Greek. Although grueling for me growing up having to attend Greek school on a Saturday, I sure as hell appreciate it now. Wish I paid more attention in French class, to be trilingual would be a major asset.

There was also a double meaning to that statement: the modern commoners now know Apple. If I don't, I can't communicate with like 3/4 of all the people I know.

You're right about the Moto products. My Moto G was just $150, but runs like any flagship phone out there. Maybe their awesome prices has something to do with Motorola being tossed around among acquisitions. First Google, then some Chinese company, then who knows.

Real simple, I live in NYC and I drive an SE. But I bet you figured that out already, us Yaris guys are pretty sharp.

The name was given to me by one of my basic training instructors who struggled with my name and it's stuck with me for 14 years now.

MedMantle · 04-15-2015, 03:45 PM

Needed a name for Charizard in Pokemon on my gameboy a decade ago, only had 9 spaces I could fill. Literally got the Med from a Med-Lemon box that was standing on an Archie comic of which Reggie Mantle was my favorite character :P

Ern is short for Ernie aka Ernest. Diz is short for dizzle, which is what some of my friends nicknamed and called me back in '07 when I joined the forum.
