I am a native speaker of English so this was news to me. Today I have found that many languages do not have different words for the colors blue and green. I thought this might be interesting for people whose culture doesn't differentiate and might help them understand this better.The webpage I found this information at is here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-green_across_culturesHere is the first paragraph of the page so you can see if this is of any interest to you:The English language makes a distinction between blue and green but some languages do not. Of these, quite a number, mostly in Africa, do not distinguish blue from black either, whilst there are a handful of languages that do not distinguish blue from black but have a separate term for green. Also, some languages treat light (often greenish) blue and dark blue as separate colors, rather than different variations of blue, while English does not.Does anyone want to discuss this or tell us how things are in your country? I find it fascinating.Peace,Boris

I'd like to make a proposal to make an addition to the "My Page" section. It would be nice to have it customizable where you can add your own features. I'd like to add an "about me" feature where you can tell more about yourself. In the "about me" section you might want to tell what type of food you like (or dislike), favorite vacation places, dreams of the future or just about anything you want.Another feature could be a "blank" subject line for you to put a title of anything you want. Then a box under the "blank" subject where you can tell about what the "blank subject" means to you. In my "blank subject" I'd put something like "Need help with English?" and in the box below I'd put my email information or Skype phone number if anyone had a need for help with their English questions.I am a somewhat new user so these features might already exist. If they do I'd like to hear about them.Peace,Boris
