Reasons for my inactivity lately and Uranium stuff I still sometimes do...

As someone who has about as much knowledge in german as a Yakuza member has of the inner working of the mafia, can you explain what issue was? While foreign languages hurt my poor brain, I'm still interested in them, much to growing headache's displeasure.

Oh, I'll try not to mess up with your precious brain cells too much, if you are interested in that issue~

Okay... eh... Thing is, the German language has actually three articles, unlike that single "the" in English that suits for every noun. That article determines a (German) noun as either masculine, feminine or neutral. Don't ask for any rule in which case a specific word gets exactly and certaily a particular article out of the three choices... I realized there doesn't seem to be any, and that's what likely causes confusion in those who don't speak it natively like I do.

That must have also been a reason why I failed in French as a foreign language, while having somee basic understanding of Polish just by listening to my father... ( they don't seem to have any articles at all C: )
