Don't Use That Tone With Me

I've just found out that along with Thai's unique alphabet, the biggest complication is that it is a tonal language. With rising, falling, high, low and level tones, the same word can have up to five wholly different meanings.

Makes Japanese seem as easy as ABC.

Happy Birthday Phil. Hope you had a good time did you get any realy good Ties or are they all the same. Do they make them to measure like you can get a suit in India. I suppose a lot will be rubbish with 'The Simpsons' on saying eat my shorts and things like that. Well I hope it was fun.
