Comments on: Animals, BB, sir Paul… http://moshublog.com/2006/03/04/animals-bb-sir-paul/ The combined blog: about WordPress, the Canadian Prairies and myself Thu, 17 May 2012 11:45:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: InvisibleMinority http://moshublog.com/2006/03/04/animals-bb-sir-paul/comment-page-1/#comment-14949 InvisibleMinority Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:32:15 +0000 http://moshublog.com/2006/03/04/animals-bb-sir-paul/#comment-14949 Thank you very much, Lara, for the lesson. I am always eager to learn something new from kind native English speakers - since I live among them only for about nine years. However, being always suspicious, I have checked my <strong>GAGE Canadian Dictionary</strong> and it says: shrimp - n., pl.shrimp or shrimps;[...] They might be wrong, I know, so in the future I'll carefully study this question. And here is a deal for you: if in nine years you will be able to write and speak in my mother tongue as your second, err... fourth language at the level I manage to communicate in your mother tongue - then we will be equals. Is that OK? Thank you very much, Lara, for the lesson. I am always eager to learn something new from kind native English speakers - since I live among them only for about nine years.
