The Things (Words) I've Learned
Clearly I chat more in French than other languages as these lists show. It has actually been quite useful and I'm pleased at how my fluidity in writing French has improved. Partly due to the lovely (usually accurate) auto-correct function; partly due to the kind corrections received by many users; but, above all, simply by receiving interesting, intelligent, sophisticated, creative messages from some of you that have constantly (and pleasantly) expanded my vocabulary. THANK YOU! MWAH!
