      One of the languages I am not sufficiently fluent in, yet, is that of Australia and USA. What does “Diction needed” mean in this context?

        Diction is speech (like dire in French), and it was a bit of wordplay on the common expression ‘citation needed’ like the other commenter said :) Basically joking that a claim to speak a language should be backed up by saying something in that language to be believed.

          No kurienes tev zināt, ka neesmu vinkarši izmantojis tulkojuma aparātes? :)

          Eble vi devus usi telefonon en paroli kun mi. Mi ne scias.

          Pero, quien quiere, puede me llamar por exemple con Matrix. У початку просто думав, що й так ніхто мене вірятіме, якщо віряті не хоче. Und wer meenen Wörtern glohben will, tut es ja eh. So is halt det Leben.

          Aber jut, nu är nånting skrivits :)
