Hey! What's wrong with my roulade in Message#1613237? http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?o=302;service=deen;query=Roulade and my Merriam Webster are perfectly well with it?

No, I don't like to be that stupid. That young and a bit wiser would make much more fun. ;)

i realy like to have the kids around. Even if the four of them expand now to 6 persons ...
