If your comment is:

(a.) anonymous
(b.) extremely short
(c.) in a language I can't read*
(d.) any combination of the above

I will assume it is spam and delete it.

If it was a sincere effort to communicate, please try again.

*Languages I can read: English, French, Middle English if you give me a dictionary and plenty of time, Anglo-Saxon ditto, Latin ditto, ancient Greek ditto only more so. I have German and Italian dictionaries, and I thought I had a Spanish dictionary, but that seems to be a myth.

...I kind of wish people would start commenting in ancient Greek.

Ich bitte Ihre Entschuldigung, aber ich muss mein Deutsches üben. Zwan, ich werde aufhören hier so tun.

I think I missed a "nicht" in there ...

No, I don't think that there is a "nicht" missing. :-)

Ich bitte um Entschuldigung, aber ich muss (mein) Deutsch üben. Ich werde (aber) aufhören es hier zu tun.
Don't know what Zwan means/is, so I left it out. :-)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;-)

with greetings from Cologne, Germany.

Hai! Monette O'jo-sama! :P

Sorry...I couldn't resist. That was Japanese by the way, sort of saying 'Yes! Lady Monette' X]

Yes, I'm a wiseass, this is true. But I'm half Irish so I can blame it on a long history of family gatherings and interactions :]

I thought I'd be original and try to write a comment in Middle English but as it turns out everyone else is wittier than I am and got to the other languages first.

Also, I don't know what I could say that would both be interesting and consist of words found in The Canterbury Tales.

Bonjour! J't'aime! Ou est les toilettes?

(That's all the French I can remember off the top of my head. I can still read it a little bit if I get my brain cranking so hard steam comes out of my ears.)

Define...

[themadblonde]

extremely short, please?

Re: Define...

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

The two comments which prompted that post were eight and nine characters long, respectively (to the best of my ability to determine).

But why on earth are you worried? Your comments are (a.) not anonymous and (b.) in English.

less worried...

[themadblonde]

than smart-alec, sorry. & I was reading it as a list of "ors" rather than "ands." My mistake.
