"One common language" for those not clever enough to decode.

And now for more poll goodness!

1. What language is your native tongue, and were you lucky to be raised in a bilingual household?
2. What other languages do you know other than your first language? If you care to explain, when and why did you learn them?
3. Which language do you use most frequently, and which language do you prefer the most?
4. What would you think of your vocabulary level? What is probably the most complex word you use on a daily basis?
5. How's your handwriting? Is it legible, or do you think it's too sloppy?
6. Do you happen to be a Grammar Nazi? Or are you fairly lenient on the grammar of others?


My answers:
1. Simple American English. Although if dialects counted, I'd be bilingual because my dad still speaks in Ebonics a little too much for his own good.

2. I have learned quite a few:
French - high school foreign language
Spanish - learned a little more than basic, courtesy high school Biology
Korean - few words that I forgot, mostly numbers; Taekwondo did it for me
Japanese - started learning earlier than others for the basic purpose of understanding anime in its native language; currently attempting to re-learn
Abbreviations and 13375P34K - who doesn't in some way or another?

3. I use English every day, and at this time I only use that and Japanese in every day situations. As much as I love sticking to my roots, I prefer Japanese because I've actually found a little easier on my voice when sick, plus amongst the friends I have that do understand it, we can communicate out loud when we don't want anybody else to understand us.

4. I think my vocabulary level is fairly normal for anybody with my amount of education, although people have said it's pretty high. As for words I use regularly, I really haven't paid attention to myself when I talk, partially due to the fact I'm not always big on speaking.

5. My handwriting is rather small and clean, and compared to others a little dark and hard to erase. At least it's legible.

6. I'm pretty lenient about grammar usage; unless somebody asks me to read and correct their essays, I've never been harsh on people. Although my love for writing does give me wing to chuckle at the occasional typo in a published book.
