Actually, I used to spend a lot of time with Levantines. They would sometimes switch languages four times in the same sentence <g> Never really bothered me, doesn't bother me here unless the message is to me.
Have to admit Dutch leaves me kind of cold as a language and doesn't inspire me to want to learn it ( probably also because they all seem to speak English as well as I do and spell it better )
But I encourage any Catalan speakers to post in Catalan. I don't understand that either but it actually looks like a language I *should* understand <bg>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
