> but it is almost impossible to master, even for Italians. Well depending on your definition of mastery, that's probably true for nearly every Western European national language since they all have some degree of artificiality and prescriptiveness. Officially, everyone from Lombardy to Calabria speaks "Italian" but what is actually spoken in each region will differ heavily from the national standard. Thanks for creating Redis, by the way.
