Aspies For Freedom

Yeah, I never have any trouble understanding you either. Your English is certainly better than my Spanish.

I haven't had any trouble while reading your posts, I guess your English is better than mine.

Yeah, your english is great. I think your quote conveys the right idea. I didn't pick up the idea to "not try to adapt."

(is the period after "adapt" in the right place?)

Let me put it this way, your written english is superior to many of the young adults who leave British schools.

I have a book of poetry and woodblock prints by a Sápmi poet & artist; Hans Ragnar Mathisen (also known as Elle-Hánsa & Keviselie. In the foreword he writes "Our land is called Sápmi or Samiland (Lappland), now divided between Norway, Finland, Sweden and USSR." I've posted a poem of his in a thread in the misc interest section. Here it is again. Over some letters there are apostrophe-like things that I don't have on my key-board, so I'll just leave them out.

Bartni miella biekka miella

Okta mu vieljain, Elle-Jovnni. Sanit <<bartni miella biekka miella>> leat oassi muhtin dajahusas dahje divtas maid Olof Mattson Sirma calii jagi 1672, na: Bartni miella biekka miella nuorra jurdda guhkes jurdda.

My Brother

This is one of my brothers, Jonny, or Elle-Jonni as we say in sami language. The text << BARTNI MIELLA BIEKKA MIELLA>> is from an old dajahus (text for a JOIK-song or poem) written down in 1672 after a sami poet Olof Mattson Sirma.

<<(The) Boy's mind (is like the) wind's mind, young thoughts (are) long thoughts...>>

If I had my scanner going I would have posted the wood carving as well.

"May" and "Might" are pretty much the same, but "might" is a little less neutral.

"I may go to bed soon" implies what it implies.  "I might go to bed soon" implies a greater chance of me actually going to bed.  (Probably a good idea, as it's 8:00 and I'm still awake.)

Maybe is a conditional phrase, as in "Maybe I will go to bed soon".  Or maybe not.

Cheers,

"Thanks, this information was useful."

It's all good.  I like that you're not offended by criticism you didn't ask for.  That's a very good strength to have.
