Your English isn't too bad at all. Stay on the forum, and I guarantee it will get much better over time, Phoenix being the obvious example. (F1-gast being the exception though...)

Yes, I find it rather sad and idiotic, really. :roll:

I'm really sorry if I'm not able to write well... :( this is almost the first time in my life that I write on an English forum and I'll try to write better in the future. I don't want to originate a Sunshine-Baby-Horrible-English-Gate :-)


Your way better at English than I am at Italian so don't worry, By the way, I think Phoenix's post about posting one line posts is about me.
