It's my second language, but I prefer it over my first language. :o

Wouldn't this "yet another insane poll" be better in Off the Wall?

I think it would be better in off the wall since it doesn't have anything to do with Gentoo, but I still voted so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Same here.

Being born in the USA one might think english is my native language, but it really isn't. My family was moving back to Germany when I was about 2 years old and so I never really got into it. Even my bro who was speaking english fluently forgot it completely and had to learn it at school again. This pretty much sucks, but then we never had probs with learning english at school and we both really like it.

Even though I was born in California, I learned Spanish before English. In fact, I don't think I knew a word of English until kindergarden.

On second thought, we had this before, and that, too. Both threads also reflect the fact that most people aren't native English speakers.
