:lol:

It certainly does something to the mouth, yes :D
It's annoying to speak. I only speak my dialect (though it's rather soft and understandable), but I still find that hard on the lips. Italian for example is a much easier language. More suited for my mouth.

    Yeah there is something in that. When I talk to Dutch people they have to speak English on my account and it's almost like I can sense it's a physical effort for them to do it.

    Italian is really pleasant yeah, also for listening.

    Dude, Arabic is much more smoother than that, but it's an aggressive language though, no doubt.

    What's good is that people won't ever understand you if you're abroad.
    I've gotten caught on that so many times now. I grew up speaking Polish in public, which is fantastic to have that language of your own. But it's really awkward when you think noone understands and it turns out someone does. Throws me off big time. One time I got ambushed like that in the sauna, last place I'd expect.

    It might be for you, but for us Arabic is really difficult. Almost unnatural. I really think the Italian accent is one of the easiest to master. If you dare to go all out that is. Italians tend to be dramatic, so you have to be dramatic too.

    That would be annoying. And the Dutch are everywhere, so I guess you can never be sure. That said, most Dutch don't understand me.

    I barely know Arabic myself, but it's not mouthwatering. Italian I definitely want to learn.

    Heh, you could have shared the info and talked in english though...
    Time and distance are continuous quantities, so in order for us to measure them we first need to define some kind of scale unit. Unlike with discrete quantities; i.e. if we're counting apples it's obvious that there already is an elementary unit (which can be described by using simple natural numbers).

    Absolute time doesn't exist. And when time gets 'dilated', we don't notice because our personal time scale changes proportionally. The best analogy can be made by using the spatial equivalent: imagine being shrunk to the size of an ant. The ruler you had in your backpocket shrunk along with you. Now you take a few steps forward, until you measure to have walked a distance of 50 feet. According to yourself, you have indeed walked 50 feet, but according to someone who did't shrink you have only walked a few inches forward. The funny thing is no one can claim to have made an absolute measurement, because the measurement itself is always made relative to the observer, and all (non-accelerating to be precise) observers are equal.

    Maybe I should teach this stuff to kids. :D
