Hi there

[TheFrenchGuy]

Let me introduce to you a brand new user : myself !
I come from France (really ?) and I'm an apprentice in business control.
I'm 24, short brown hair ( ???).

I had already worked on BI solutions (BO) but I passed to RS since November.

Already done some cool stuffs like burst, dynamical prompts, interesting.
And my apologies about my english mistakes

[Lynn]

Welcome! This is a great place to learn!!

[bdbits]

No need to apologize. I know the native speakers of the few bits of foreign language I know would not want me trying to post anything in their tongue! :D

Nice to have you join us.

[TheFrenchGuy]

Hey thx for this welcome !

Foreign languages always hard to learn. Btw my learning comprehension skill are so bad (as all the french say) but impossible to work without english right now .. so go for it =)

Welcome to Cognoise!!

24 - short brown hair... sounds like me half a lifetime ago :)

Your English seems better than mine, by the way. I'm not French - I think I'm what you'd call "le rosbif" :)

MF.

[TheFrenchGuy]

Thanks !

Yes, LAB&TYD  : searching for my first full time job, what a step !
Then I lied; hair almost grey ...

Yeah you englishmen "les rossbif" but the "Froggs" french. I don't even know where these nicknames come from !

[Michael75]

Yeah you englishmen

@ TheFrenchGuy

Most of the contributors on Cognoise may have English as their mother tongue, but are not "English" (a mistake in itself, as the nationality you're after is "British"), because they come from the other side of the pond. We (the Brits) are constantly exasperated by their foreign policy, by their use of a 'z' when the correct spelling is with an 's', and by their tendency to say "Oh my God" and "Have a nice day" ;) Whilst I'm handing out the corrections, I should add that some of the "men" here are not even men! Yes, unbelievable, I know, but apparently Cognoise policy even allows persons of the contrary gender to post here ;)

To come back to the nationality issue, and the frictions that exist between two peoples who speak (approximately) the same language, some of us Brits could in fact count on the fingers of one hand the good things that have come out of our former colony:
- the HP3000 mini-computer & its MPE O/S
- the Grateful Dead
- Bruce Springsteen
- Phish
- Todd Rundgren
</heavy sarcasm>

But Cognoise is a great community, with contributors from all parts of the globe. And, amongst the Brits, il y a même des Brits un peu francophones et surtout très francophiles, même si maintenant, pour des affaires du coeur, ils habitent le pays qui se pose comme un cerveau au-dessus de la France  :)

Oh, I almost forgot to say . . . Bienvenu sur Cognoise  :)

Of course, some of us colonists are just as exasperated by some of the British ways, culture, and music.  ;)
And without us, you would not be posting here at all.

I am actually only half-American, as my father was fully Welsh Canadian. One of my uncles traced back to where we came from in Wales, though I do not recall the name of the place. Being in Wales, it was probably unpronounceable.  ;D

All in jest of course... it really is a great - and international - community.

[Lynn]

Welsh Canadian?! America truly is a melting pot :)

Since I am now officially a UK resident (thanks to my dual Italian citizenship) I'm working hard to learn all sorts of crazy expressions, spellings and pronunciations.

And don't even get me started about driving. Or the metric system.

We are? I'd personally use the verb "enchanted" rather than "exasperated". :)

Yes indeed! Some are persons of the contrary gender from the other side of the pond, too! :)

Aha. My muppety translation skills are called upon once more...

There are even Brits who speak a little French and like the French a lot, even if currently, through affairs of the heart, they live in a country which sits like a brain above France.

Welcome on Cognoise

[MFGF]

...and who could blame you? Songs like Agadoo by Black Lace must have raised the DefCon level to 5 because subjecting the US public to such torture must have been tantamount to a declaration of war :)

And without us, you would not be posting here at all.

So very true! IBM would probably be NBM. We would still believe the moon was made of cheese. Sobering thoughts! :)

Intriguing! Do you occasionally find it difficult to use vowels when posting? A sure sign there is some Welsh blood in your veins! I wonder if your family originated in Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch? :)

Amen. I could not have put it better! :)

I am thinking you must have googled "longest welsh town name" to find that particular town. ;D

Oddly enough, the other half of my ancestry includes parts of what is now the Czech Republic. They have nothing over the Welsh for consonant density, but they try hard.

I have a sudden urge to build a database of words from multiple languages and run analytics on vowel usage, consonantal density, etc. That would actually be pretty interesting, well it would to me.  8)
