do you write in your mother tongue? i find it almost obscene, both the experience and the postwriting reading. i can only write in other two languages i know, it flows quite smoothly in them. on the other hand, i can only have full philosophical discussions in my 1st language. i can have them in the other two, but a conscious effort is needed.

what about you anon, whats your relationship to language? and to writing in particular?

>writing in anything else than your mother tongue

english is ugly.

it have always been ugly and it doesn't even have to complexity of German to make up for it's guttural roughness.

i still find it a miracle what Shakespeare managed to achieve with english language.

I only write in English. I cannot stand German. I hate it with a passion. Except for Philosophy.
