Both World War I and World War II involved Germany vs France (not to mention numerous other historical wars between these countries) so it is kind of funny to be a German/French mix. Probably only in America that would happen. But like you said, you never can tell.

My last name is Latin, and I actually do know a bit because I took it for two years. I'm on my seventh year of French, getting to the "fluency" level so I can spend a semester abroad in January.

Exactly Rushfan!
Gotta love the melting pot we are.
And yes, don't forget the Franco-Prussian war. That's what started it all.
Do you ever get angry and have spastic fits of violent anger/sitting down with a crape?
moreitsythanyou, I actually had 3 years...but never really committed it to memory

I have a Stormtroopers of Death's Speak English or Die mentality, but despite that, I have always admired people who are able to speak multiple languages. I have a hard enough time with my given language let alone a second, third or fourth language.

World-War related, I heard a funny fact yesterday, on the radio. Andorra declared war to Germany during the first World War, but didn't do much, got forgotten in the Treaty Of Versailles, and thus stayed for like until 1957 in a state of belligerency.

Walruses overrule everything. It's a universal fact, there's not much you can do about it.

I believe that it is a sign that you were logged in to PA for a long, long, long time. Even I left before I was on for that long.  Although I have returned like a bad penny. |
So I'm dedicated to this site. I think everyone should show my dedication.
Also, I sometimes just leave the window up.
