    Well if were going to refer to math as plural, then we should refer to other subjects also as plural like “Im going to study my historys, chemestys, physicses, literatures, etc”

    Much of what makes the US “cool” originates from black people. Rock music being the prime example, but also dance/disco type nightlife, the slangy manner in which people in the US speak, all originates from blacks. And yet blacks still dont yet fully (in my opinion) fit in with mainstream life in the US. So they have created a rap culture of their own. And now every teenager in the US feels they have imitate this or be part of it. I say that blacks shouldnt have to fully open their culture up just to entertain the curiosity of whites, if whites dont open up their lifestyle to blacks.

    American food is extremely unhealthy. If you look at the labels of just about any processed food it will most always have some kind of vegtable or animal oil content. Consequently many people in the US have weight problems and have to diet. Here in Mexico you never see people who are obese. Sure youll see alot of people with a belly, but noone really fat because most all the food here is prepared with fresh ingrediantes. Ive heard that British cuisine is really bad, like cooked peas and roast beef. So they are embracing american style fast food and supermarket food which is really unhealthy.

    So far there are only temporary residency there, the largest is McMurdo which can get up to over 2000 workers during summer. the pic is really large, so instead of posting it as a picture, I’ll link it instead

    During the summer it can reach as many as 2000 people. During the winter there are only about 50 or so. And no I dont know where to access the news reports I saw a few years back.

    Do you know what cabin fever is? Have you seen the news reports of scientists whove come down with cabin fever in the Antarctic?

    I dont think dialect is the right word as that is just a variation on the same structure. I think of spanish and italian as two branches that extend of the same base. Italian and spanish both have fundemental differences on their pronounciation, but still share very similar root words and grammar. You aught to post pasages in spanish, italian and maybe romanian also to have the respective speakers see what they recognize it the other languages.

    Yes f**k and s**t are the mainstays of swearing in the US. At the age of 38 I can tell you that it still somehow holds its taboo and shock value, why I dont know. I personally have heard f**k used in just about every possible context and its all a bit old for me now. I wish someone would come up with a new words or obscene expressions, but it hasnt happened yet. And yes, damn some how still holds on as a curse word. If anyone can translate their swear words into english, Id like to here it, just as long as its not the usual f**k, s**t and usual genatalia words.

    That mini Me-109 is an awfully good replica. Especially considering the original size Me-109 didnt have any room in the cockpit for a pilot. If they were to lengthen the nose out a bit, it would really look like the real thing. They wouldnt have to move the engine forward, just lenghen the nose and then use the oil cooler scoop undernieth as a cooling intake instead of the intake under the prop spinner they have now.
