Re: Waddle Wisdom
Speaking of different languages, what's the deal with that vibrating "R" sound? Any time I try to do that it sounds like I'm hocking up a loogie. I don't want to insult people I don't know that way.Comment

Re: Waddle Wisdom
You mean a trill, like "amarillo" where tha "R" is trilled? It's tongue action, not throat action. Exhale while letting the tip of your tongue flick off the roof of our mouth. If you practice a little it's easy. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Waddle Wisdom
Yes. I've only heard the trill sound used in Spanish/Portuguese languages, but there may be more.
We've got many languages represented here. General question: What languages use the trill sound?If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Waddle Wisdom
It's not just the spelling that's funny - each area of the world has their own idioms, and as bad as it is between different versions of english it's worse with totally different languages.
In Spanish "I go where the King goes alone" to me means he's going to go boink the queen, but it actually translates to "I gotta go see a man about a dog"
And telling a Mexican "Keep an eye on that for me" gets you a reply like, "That sounds painful"73 DE W5SSJComment
