Maybe it's just because I only just woke up, but somehow I managed to read that sentence without even realising it wass awkwardly worded.

- Retr0spectrum 10y agoOk, that was really weird. I'm a native English speaker, although I learnt German a few years ago and haven't used it since. I must have woken up in a German mood or something.
- UweSchmidt 10y agoAnd your French too (space before ":"). :) I find it exciting to figure out someone's native language, or to understand the phrase in the original language before translation. A Spaniard asked me once to give me the "carpet", which made no sense in the context. He meant to say "file folder" ("la carpeta" in Spanish), hoping the Normans had brought the equivalent French word to England and save him a lookup in the dictionary.
