NO RISK NO FUN!

1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

You can't help it, no matter how honnest you are.

2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you would like to get rid of?

big mouth!

3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

I did, I suppose. I didn't like the way I looked then but, on the other hand, who did :) ?

4. Would you break the law to help somebody?
Depends on the situation. I would in extreme cases.

5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

Absolutely. there is this electronical language that sneaks into our real life. F.ex: Pani Olu, przeforwarduję Pani tej fajl do updatu. A nightmare!

1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

I really hope not, because I hope to succeed someday... :)
2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you would like to get rid of?

I aggravate easily and I am constantly working on that! :)))
3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

Depends which school. Primary was my nightmare and a high school was amazing. With last one I've gained great friends for life and a husband :)))
4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

That really depends... At the end of a day law was invented by people for people and it may not always be cross-reference for all cases.
5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

I think it will... for chavs :)))
Educated people will still use proper language - written and spoken.

Seems like the upcoming holidays are working for yuou, Steve :-).
1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

Nah, you gain about 500 new friends, who have nothing but deep friendship for you. Well, some call them friends, some call them leeches.
2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you would like to get rid of?

Leaving everything for the last minute. I should work in a travel agency.
3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

Primary - not too much, high school was great when it came to friends and university rocked till about the third year :-).

4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

Polish law is so ridiculous that it's a miracle helping someone is not already illegal. If it was just law and not hurting anyone than of course.
5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

It has already. The real question is - will Internet change the way we look? Cause I'm starting to feel sth strange under my feet. Like... roots?

I think I might. Within reason.

It will, it's already begun.

4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

it depends what law and who is "somebody"

Aye, Merci :)

1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

I'd say it's more like: succeeding leads to gaining enemies and
gaining friends (mainly the folks attracted by the success).

2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you would like to get rid of?

There's a prayer of St Thomas Aquinas that sums it up for me, alas I couldn't find it in English.
It goes something like: Save me from the habit of thinking that I
have to say something on any subject and at every opportunity.
(well - more or less)

3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

I'm not a pupil nor a student anymore.

4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

Certainly.

5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

LOL! No wai! But srsly - I think that U're quite right thar.
(sorry - couldn't help it... short answer - yes)

But please use protection for your own good.

1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

Depends on the kind of person you are. I guess it's very true of Poland though; never seen so much of this in the States.

2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you would like to get rid of?

I'm clingy. LOL

3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

Which school? I kinda liked the liceum kinda thing as everything was laid back yet competitive and we had lots of fun. Not all the teacher were so great though.

4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

I already have a couple times, but minor stuff.

5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

I so hope not. there's a nice discussion on the Korektorzy forum on the topic.

1. Not really... But as your social ring may change as you're stepping up the class ladder, I'd rather call it changing both friends and enemies.

2. Forbearance. I'm too far a good auntie, even when people don't deserve it :)

3. It depends on the level. My first day at primary school was just taken from "The Wall", I got my hand smacked with a cane for good intentions. But generally, I liked it. As for the secondary school, having been a desolated geek I just hated it :)

4. So far, I didn't have to do this, but I can't exclude such possibility.

5. Internet is not the only factor that impacts the language. And not the only space where you use it. The hi-tech revolution may change the written form, but I'm not sure about the spoken one. Me jus kant imadgin everybodyz speekin LOLspeak, taht wood be so ridikuluz :)

1. Do you agree that when people suceed they usually gain enemies and lose friends?

I may agree partially, as we have to remember that we will never lose our true friends/supporters, like our parents or "true" life partner-(if we've got lucky and the relationship is build on healthy relations). What I meant by saying: to lose? That we can't lose them in terms of turning from mates into enemies obviously.
2. What's the most annoying feature of your character that you
would like to get rid of?

Honestly?? Trying to be bloody perfectionist in everything what I do.
3. Did you like your school and why (not)?

I appreciate my school time mostly because of the people who I met and all these very bad and very good experiences. Thanks to which, of course not entirely, I could reinforced my humble personality .
4. Would you break the law to help somebody?

I would, only in order to help my close family members.
5. Do you think that the Internet will change languages significantly? For example, the permanent simplification of language (vocabulary, spelling, etc).

It will??? In my opinion it had started to change quite some time ago and it's still changing. What's more as long as our cyberspace exists, it will newer stop changing our life. Lets take a look at shortcuts like: WTF, WoW, BTW, FYI, Tbd- I'm pretty sure that everyone of you have been used one of these or others at least once.
