Hehe! On pote in le horisonte vider un situation ubi le britannicos va
dicer al europeos continental "Vos non pote parlar le anglese in iste
maniera que vos lo face!" Le continentales respondera: "Nos es plus de
personas e nos parla correctemente. Vos non parla correctemente!"

Un amico me narrava le anectode de un instructor de anglese qui habeva
le impression que le correcte parola pro "question" in anglese sia
"qwexion" e ille non se lassava convincer!
