   I don't speak anything but English but I understand it's one of the hardest   
    languages to learn. I have enough problems with it myself so I admire those   
    of you that can speak it as a second language. I suppose the word piss   
    (urinate), pissed (drunk or mad per Oxford), or pissed off (mad) is an   
    example of it's complications.   
      
   Anyway I now return this group to its regularly scheduled agenda...
