nah, no offense taken. I often wonder what my native language sounds like to other people who have learned it and can give an outside perspective. I recall talking to a very fluent Chinese person who would tell me how difficult it was to become fluent in English and her major complaint about English was that "there are too many exceptions to the rules" and well, I can certainly relate to that. I do enjoy the organizational structure of Thai as there are almost zero exceptions to the rules, in English, a lot of the "rules" seems as though they were made intentionally difficult just for the sake of having special speech.
