I never did like Shakespeare all that much, apart from the Scottish play, of course. And yes, or no, English isn't my native language. Thanks for the compliment! I used to have an American accent at school, hated it and got rid of it. Nowadays I'm told I sound vaguely Scottish. However, I've since learned that the Americans actually speak an older form of English, and thus closer to the origins of the language, than the vulgarly progressive brothers (and sisters) back home.
Keep in mind for further use - it's fairly easy to trip me up with Americanisms. - Susanne
