No, I don't speak Dutch, or Friesian, or French either.<br />I speak English. No "eh", no "huh", and most days, no curse words either. I unfortunately have a mental disorder, that is well controlled by medication, but all my family tip toes around me afraid that if they say anything "unhappy" I'll go postal on them. ARGH!
