..trying to read in something in Spanish. I took Spanish years ago in high school but that was YEARS ago - I can SORT OF comprehend something written in Spanish but it takes A LOT of concentration to be able to understand it and it's not a relaxing read for me to read in Spanish. When I'm on a chat board, I don't want to have to WORK to understand what's being said! Serious question for you B Street - is this the way you communicate in ALL facets of your life or is it only when you post a message on TSL? And do you INTENTIONALLY try to be convoluted in your writing style ie does it take WORK to write this way of does this just flow from you naturally?
