I know the feeling. English is my first language but I have been living in Sweden for six years. It's a little embarrassing when someone asks me the meaning of an English word and my only response is, "Uhhh....." And that's on a GOOD day!

And as for "theet", I wasn't sure if you were going for "feet" or "teeth", so just figured you had your foot in your mouth. :D

Hi David,

I know that feeling. If family or friends from Germany are calling I sometimes really have to struggle to come up with the right german word, it's silly. And some people accuse me of having the "american singsang" in my voice, even if I speak german. Oh well, we have to live with that I guess
And speaking of having my foot in my mouth after 7 Springs was canceled - you guessed pretty good! After driving all the way from the Twin Cities to PA and planning the whole trip since I knew he would be there - you can imagine, I wasn't amused! My husband tried to comfort me, but I just wanted to be left alone for a while.

By the way, how well is Gordon known in Sweden? In Germany not too many people recognize his name, if you're lucky they remember IYCRMM.
