--- Quote from: oddtail on 16 May 2016, 08:40 ---"Poproszę o sześć piw" is perfectly correct grammatically, but it strikes me as somewhat awkward. It may depend on the region, but I don't think I've ever heard a person use that particular construction. I think a more natural one is "Sześć piw, proszę" ;) [/nitpick] (in my defense, I nitpick language for a living)

Well, it was taught to me by a polish-born fellow student during the train-ride to Wolin. :-D
In Adam's defense: He was 12 when his parents headed west due to some Solidarność-affiliations, so his Polish might have been lacking a bit of everyday practise.

EDIT: About the 'ambigous' characterisation of eastern Europeans -> On 2nd reading: Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that. Didn't mean it that way, but still ... on the rude side of 'brash'.
In my defense: German, physicist, ADD. Now, if you draw a Venn-diagram ... :oops:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 15 May 2016, 23:04 ---I'm more sure than ever that this new character has some kind of social or behavioural disorder. Most people would be hysterical in her situation but she remains deliberate, calm and monotone.
--- End quote ---
I'm no psychologist, but I think she is still just in shock. The reality of all her earthly belongings going up in flames in front of her eyes has not fully registered yet.
--- End quote ---
The thing is that, with the exception of her only semi-canonical response to Barry's fishing story, she always seems to act like this. It doesn't seem to be shock (which was my first idea too). It just seems to be the way she talks and acts!
--- End quote ---
Maybe her grief is in equal balance with joy. Perhaps she hated her job and wanted a change and now this happened. She doesn't have an excuse for staying employed there any longer and the biggest problem she has right now is where to sleep for the night.
zmeiat_joro:
She might have some audotiry processing disorder, not sure.
War Sparrow:
Or maybe she is just like that. No disorder, just calm and bad at human interaction. Some people are just poorly socialized and even tempered.
Kugai:
So, anyone seeing Clinton offering to help her out and find a place to stay?
