>>Early on, after perhaps just a few months there, I asked a coworker do I have much of an accent. He said "no, no accent at all... it's that you make breaks at weird places in a sentence". That happens when I search for the best word to use, because very often the first word which comes to mind is ambiguous, so it takes some time to find the best substitute (first I wanted to write "replacement" but that could be taken as replacement part for something that was broken, so, next...).

I still prefer the languages where there are new words for new things/ideas, easier to memorize and requires fewer words in a sentence. To me it's easier to memorize one distinct word:meaning pair, than to memorize 1word:12meanings(+rules to recognize which meaning it may be this time).
(disclaimer: In the above sentence I took the word "meaning" to mean the cognitive content, the idea which a word represents/signifies, not the intention. The word time I used in its discrete meaning as to represent one among the repetitions/occurrences, not the physical dimension, not the musical measure. I also carefully avoided using the word "remember" and used "memorize" instead.)
