The only English-language comics I get around here are online ones, such as Darths and Droids (2007-) and The Order of the Stick (2003-).

EDIT: Apparently, ST doesn't allow hyperlinks anymore (or maybe there's a different way to do it now)...

I got started on online comics with Bob and George. That was in February of 2003 - the one time in my life I've legit pulled an all-nighter was the night I read through the four years worth of archives for that comic. But, Bob and George ended in 2007. Many of the comics I started reading early on have since officially ended or just kinda sorta disappeared/stopped updating.

I love superhero comics (obviously), and I have read thousands upon thousands over the years. One could call me a conoisseur. If it isn't superheroes though, they must be incredibly good comics to get me to read them, like the R-rated Preacher.

If we're talking webcomics, I read PVP, Scott Kurtz is hilarious.

English instructions ruined! Must... use... French side... "Le grille"!? What the hell is that!?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

7610

Doesn't "le grille" just mean your smile in French? I hear those rappin' hip-hop boys talking about that all the time in their little songs.

What are we even talking about :|

Doesn't "le grille" just mean your smile in French? I hear those rappin' hip-hop boys talking about that all the time in their little songs.

According to Google Translate it literally means "grid". In the instance I am quoting it is referring to a barbecue that Homer Simpson is trying (and failing) to assemble.

As for the smile meaniing, possibly... I know "up in your grill" means "in your face", but my interpretation has been that it's likening a person's teeth to the grill (i.e. radiator) of a car. At least, prior to its current slang meaning the phrase would have made sense in the context of "I was driving through a swamp and I got a lot of bugs caught in my grill".

I don't understand much French.. and its a shame because my grandmother is French born..

[astronelson 339]

I'd like to learn languages other than English, but I haven't often been in situations where knowledge of another language would have been useful, and I would have very little use for them in my day-to-day life.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

7616

Japanese has been incredibly useful everyday for me recently.

[Duke87 1,070]

(7617)

I've had cause to use some rudimentary French in Quebec.

In many cities in the US, knowing Spanish is certainly useful, although I don't. In New York you've also got significant segments of the population where knowing Russian, Korean, or Chinese is useful. And, to a lesser degree, Polish, Hindi, and Arabic. Though, you can find someone speaking pretty much any language somewhere in this city.

Yes, taking as much Spanish as I can in high school should prove useful.

Besides French I also want to learn German and Russian, possibly a little bit of Japanese or Chinese

[Duke87 1,070]

I am never going to become anywhere near fluent in another language. I treat it more as trivia than something to really study.
