I've found that the more I study languages, the worse my English spelling has got. I used to type there/they're/their etc, and all the fun ones like that correctly, without even thinking about it. Now I find that I have to pause and check myself.

Kahdeksankymmentäyksi.

Lol. I was quite pleased with how my Finnish was going until I read something about how spoken Finnish varies from written (e.g. minä/sinä, is mä/sä). So there's a whole lot more to learn. I can see this language is going to keep me busy for a very long time.

Are you drunk, or is that a language?

How do you tell if people are drunk there? They must sound it all the time.

I mean Albania. The language just sounds slurred. From what you tell me Finnish people are drunk anyway. :P
