With credit to Jeff Foxworthy ("You might be a Redneck if...") - if you aren't familiar with this - Google it and you'll find lots of examples.

You might be a SpanishDict addict if...

...your first thought when seeing someone's vacation pictures is "I need to come up with a 'Picture of the Day' caption!"

Please add your own.

You have ever gone to bed at 3 in the morning after doing flashcards all day only to get right back up at 3:01 so you can finish "just one more set"

You have ever taken the fifteen or twenty minutes it takes to navigate to the very last page of the user created flashcards in order to bookmark that page in an effort to start from the beginning and work your way forward.

or

You have ever opened up multiple browser windows so that you could do more than one flashcard set at a time (because let's face it, after 12 hours straight of doing nothing but flashcards, those 3 seconds in between each card seem like an eternity)

or

By taking into consideration such variables as your screen size, the size of a window necessary to read each flashcard, connection speed, server connection, etc, you have calculated to a scientific certainty, the absolute maximum number of flashcard sets that you can successfully open up on your computer and still maintain a high level of efficiency in answering them (My optimum was 3 and occasionally 4 screens. I actually found that I could fit about 8 windows on the same screen at once, but doing more than about three sets at once made the connection painfully slow).

Your friends are on Match.com looking for Mr. Right, but you’re on SpanishDict talking to a rabbit, a lizard, a turtle, a little red bird, a toothy totem, a porcupine, a banjo-strumming cat, a wiz from Oz (how did he get in here?), and the queen (who bears a striking resemblance to Heidi Klum)... and other characters too numerous to mention.

lool. Do we really have a wiz from Oz? :D - PrincessMariam, Dec 30, 2011
Why, yes we do! A real live wizard from the actual land of Oz. Can you guess who? (Hint: He looks a little like Paul Hogan, only handsomer. I don't know if he's ever wrestled a crocodile. He probably has but he's too modest to say.) - ajaks, Dec 30, 2011
Mr Right has already retired to bed, you see. Grow up, there is more to life than Mr Rights, they get rather boring, speaking only one language.. - annierats, Dec 30, 2011
And a sagacious burro! You are so right about Mr. Right... :D - ajaks, Dec 30, 2011
