Lesson 1: If you can't figure out how to put a tilda above your n, it is exceptable to substatue ny.

Lesson 2: espanol is male. You said in your intro that you are female

Therefore: instead of "espanol" you should have wrote "espanyola".
(Sorry, I just could not help myself).

I know that's male, I asked my dad how I could say "I am a Spanish gecko" because I'd seen a gecko in Spain, that we called Sanchez, and I was writing a postcard and including a greeting from him. Therefore it's more like a quote, than me saying I actually am a (male) Spanish gecko

PS. "acceptable" not "exceptable"

It is kind of Ironic that my spelling/grammer is better in spanish (my second language) than in english (my primary language).

haha that's okay; we can give each other lessons.

Lessons we have learned so far: I am not a male gecko, and I can't use tildas

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
I was eating a tart fruit, and just about everything else was taken name wise...

2) Are you male or female? Female

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into? In my 30s and I live in CA, USA

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? I have faith!

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett? My cousin made me read Men At Arms when that first came out.. I was hooked!

6) what's your personal quote of the day? You can't make me.

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
I married an orangutan running a library.

2) Are you male or female? Female

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into? 37, currently residing in South Korea

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? Like what others have said, I have faith! The Hogfather stills look promising.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett? My sister had me read Wyrd Sisters. It was a book that made her laugh. I had to get other books and with Sourcery, I was hopelessly addicted.

6) what's your personal quote of the day? You don't like it, you can kiss my furry little butt.
