You are very accomplished then Bob. That is admirable, I only speak one
language.
I thought that your post was impolite to a new member in our international
community as was 'po-faced' regarding Ted and myself. Jokes amongst friends
are a different situation.
In any event we are all entitled to have a say. This belongs off-list now.
 


Cheers

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

I don't speak any Danish, but I do speak 5 languages other than English.
Everybody on the planet enjoys foreign language mistakes, especially mildly
rude ones involving royalty, and there's no need to be po-faced about it.
