"R" and "L" are both LINGUAL sounds, that is, sounds made specifically by the air passing over the edges of the tongue. Some native Asian cultures have a difficult time differentiating those sounds because they are not native to the primary language.

I'm pretty sure most native English speakers sound silly trying to differentiate the Greek Delta and Theata, or any language including clicking as well.

And I'm pretty sure that the speakers of that Greek clicking language probably poke a little fun at our attempts to speak their language as often as we do their attempts to speak ours. So what? Does anyone really care if they are made fun of for not being able to speak a foreign language perfectly? Not me, but then again I'm not really hypersensitive about these things.

So solly if I offended anyone by these comments. Aww Reevor, Moan Amy.

All the self-righteousness on this board really sticks it in and breaks it off.

And I'd like to add: f**k off.

And I'd suggest that self-righteousness manifests itself most strongly when one makes fun of others.

This has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with respect.

For what?!?! For asian culture? I'm willing to bet I have more than you do in that dept., and I don't make that claim lightly or with any intention to back it up, so think what you will. Yes, I realize you've been over there and I haven't, so before we play that card...

And I also find your effort to curtail my simple joke a far greater example of self-righteousness.

Now, speaking of diminished respect.... nope, forget it (along with the remainder of this thread.)
