Answer 6

Congratulations jrschenk10 K club member

I will be right back I am not up yet , and I am still trying to memorise spelling of your name, sheeez!

---

G'day Kachinko , you and I have not have not had a great deal of repartee , that

has been my fault on two fronts, firstly I have felt slightly intimidated by your

mastery of Spanish , and secondly I have found it difficult to remember how to

spell your name . The former I shall work on , the latter well, Daniella has promised

to train me in Kimchee memory and Lup chong name calling. Now for the congrats.

---

My initial response was going to be written in the vernacular of OZ,

but I remember doing that years ago with disastrous consequences ,

three members resigned , one had to be committed and a couple split up

So Kshenk we have not crossed vernaculars but I have noted all that you

have done here , and it has been impressive , not only the aforementioned

incredible Spanish you do also have a way with words , especially your

comments which have been straight to the point and correct. Helping

out members with their language problems has always been a great feature

of SD and you have always come to the party on that score , all in all mate

you deserve every vote and more , it has been a pleasure and an honour

I look forward to many more years of friendship and shared love of Spanish

You are now dear jrschenk a true "Legend" Bien hecho amigo
