Neither do we in swedish... I don't know a single swedish word with the letter in it. We have it in the alphabet just because of foreign words and abreviations.
But I like English, it's a cool language in my opinion.

Yeah that'll be fun Mou. Half the fun is getting lost in the process.
English is weird. And I like how we have several spelling for words that are acceptable. Like "favorite" and "favourite" and "grey" and "gray"

Well you can compare it to the swedish in Finland and in Sweden. The 'dialects' are so different that Swedish people sometimes have no idea what Swedish speaking finns are saying. We use different words for the same things, but both words are acceptable according to the dictionary.
Our English teachers always taught us the difference between American and British english. We were not allowed to use a mixture of the two ever...

Twenty-six different dialects of Italian.
Pain in my a**.
Though I know almost all of them - enough to get a general gist of things.

Loads of Swedish dialects, however I do not think they vary as dramatically as Italian or Norwegian ones do. Cannot understand them all though... some are just impossible.

Speaking of funny reading moments, I have one of my own from last year. It was the best ad-lib I had ever heard.
Here's the story: We were reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible. The girl playing Abigail read, "I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I came near!"
Our John Procter then said, as an aside to our Elizabeth, "I'll only be your stallion!"
Maybe you had to be there, I don't know.

Yeah I remember that part in the play. What a bizarre and awkward line! I like the part from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? that's :
Nick: (cool again) It's just that I don't like to...become involved...(an afterthought) uh...in other people's affairs.
George: (comforting a child) Well, you'll get over that...small college and all. Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.

So... I opened up a play that I hadn't added to for months. I did one thing before I became distracted: I deleted the last line because it was so cheesy.

"w" does seem like a filler letter, no real creativity...
Seeing British-English bothers me, because it's American-English only (to me) misspelled.
*goes back to working on his series of spriting tutorials* cool
