thank you so much, Snake! But I still believe there are so many nuances in a language it is almost impossible to master them when you are speaking a language that is not your own. And sometimes it's just nuances you need to let yourself completely understood. I do hope I'll learn more. These BBs are of great help!
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
