Happens with my German too, only when I call my Mother I have oportunity to speak it.
My wife is the only one I know who speaks Arabic, because she learned it at the same time/place as me... so it's kinda the blind leading the blind as far as maintaining fluency.

The german equivalent to "Greek" comes from the time of the Habsburger King Charles V he was King of Germany and Spain, so there were allways Spanish Nobles on his court.

Yes...I know "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"...I was expecting someone to bring that up...-__-
No offense intended... I figured (perhaps incorrectly) that, since Nia Vardalos (the originator of those running gags) is Greek, I would be okay posting that.

Oh It is totally Ok to post that, just that I heard that like a Milion times in my work and free time from friends and colleagues when 1 and 2 came out... That's why my reaction was like that...:HideThePain:

It's definitely politically incorrect, but Nia gets away with it for obvious reasons, and it's funny as hell (IMO) in the context of the movie... kind of like Fisher Stevens' character Ben Jabituya from the 1980s movie Short Circuit, though that's much more politically incorrect, as there's no Indian/Pakistani connection to the movie that I'm aware of, and Fisher Stevens is a Jewish-American (not Indian/Pakistani)... still really funny, though.

I must have stumbled into the wrong thread, I thought this was the My Dorm thread? :unsure: :LOL:
Again, for emphasis...

We tend to do a lot of this (myself, almost exclusively).

Actually, we (or they, more accurately) typically discuss the game, along with "tangent information".

900 pages!
And that's only the new posts since I logged in yesterday!
get a spot all decked out
I'm a little verklempt from the 900 pages thing, so talk amongst yourselves for a moment. I'll give you a topic:
Spotted Dick is
(a) a poorly named British food item
(a) something that it is hard to imagine the MC not having already had at least once in this game so far

Suspension of disbelief I guess? :LOL:

When will there be NTR content?
I think the company plot wasnt followed quite some time. Didnt the want to visit the island? Anyways, just a front for this trollpost...
There will be two scenes focused on it in the next update. They will solve a "small mystery" and show a bit of the company's business structure. It will also (pseudo-)schedule the visit to Aruba.

English has "it's greek to me" which is basically the same thing, if I'm understanding.
Same in Swedish. According to an article I found by a quick search it most likely comes from western Europe in the middle ages, where monks couldn't read Greek and wrote Graecum est; non legitur in their manuscripts (basically means "Too Greek, Didn't Read" :) ). This was later imported into both English and Swedish (among others) and became "it's greek to me". Shakespeare used it in Julius Caesar.
