@Steyn777 I love your attitude and I feel the same way when I speak Afrikaans. Ek se altyd vir mense, "Jy moet vir my se as ek 'n fout maak, anders sal ek oor en oor dieselfde fout maak." And then I test them by deliberately making a mistake - and they say nothing!
That would definitely solve the problem...it's just, it annoys me that I have to spend extra money because of someone else's poor service.@Steyn777 I also live in a small town and we have many problems with internet and phone signals. My internet problems have been solved since I switched to Afrihost about 3 months ago. They're absolutely fantastic!!

Don't be to hard on them, we are actually much more lenient with english folk when they speak afrikaans, because we know it's not your fault. While we were reading Shakespeare in school during our 2nd language classes, you guys read stuff like Kees die bobbejaan. So we can't expect you to speak Afrikaans at the same level we speak English.
@Steyn777 Actually you're wrong - it was Trompie gaan skool toe.
I never thought about you guys having to study Shakespeare. Whew! That must have been really difficult. Even English-speaking people often find it difficult.

@Silver ah, I remember something like that. Hehe, hated that book, then again, we read it before High School.Ons het "Fiela se kind" gelees @Steyn777
How did the people in charge of stuff like this think? I mean no disrespect to Dalene Mathee, but vs Shakespeare?? That's like Mozart vs that cat that played keyboard.
I found Dalene Matthee to be very good. Enjoyed that book a lot. But I hear you
Yes definitely, how could I forget Kringe in 'n bos!
We started serious Shakespeare "The Tempest" in standard 7/Grade 9 (when my English was still very flaky), and every Shakespeare play from there on, right through Varsity in English 101 (first year requirement for BSc Town Planning), with the Norton Anthology of Poetry as an added "advantage" - how I managed to pass English 101 first time, was a miracle.
Dalene Matthee was in her own class, I devoured all her books.
Willem Wikkelspies - Romeo and Juliet matric for English, we rented the movie about 5 times just to get an inclination of what was actually meant by tying it up with the pictures. "Wherefore art thou Romeo", "waar de hel is jy boet" was a firm favorite interpretation.
En a specials "treat" vir Afrikaans - Koning van Katoren in hoog Hollands, there was no end to the phsycological torture on that one, nobody understood it.

O yes, and "Die Son Struikel" - pure agony!

@rainstorm Yes, awesome awesome book with a main character that will stay with you for ever. Saul Barnard. Wow, amazing how a good book can bring such memories 21 years later. Need to read it again and soon.
@Steyn777 , I tend to read more English, but must maybe do a couple of Afrikaans ones again, and yes, I like the paper versions more. The smell of a book add to the pleasure. I think as a nation we do not read nearly enough!

i cleaned out my gmail account and made same folders . now i cannot receive ecigssa notify emails. get in box emails but not following emails , mmm what did i do wrong not in spam folders
I also read english books exclusively, I'm a fantasy book nut.
Oh and Die rebelie van Lafras Verwey, what a load of crap that was.
@roomfogger Waar de hel is jy boet, I laughed so hard at that now. Brilliant! ! Romea and Juliet was actually child's play compared to Macbeth. Bubble bubble, toil and trouble...wth?!!
Hulle weet nie hoe om te kook nie,
agree on R&J, I'm doing Macbeth this year apparently as it is Locust2's book for grade 12. Going to have to sharpen my quil and see if I am still able to help.
I loved Thief's Magic by Trudi Canavan... Need to get the other 3 books that go with them.
On another note, i wrote another CompTIA exam today and passed by the skin of my teeth
