Re: Hagi, I read somewhere on a post of yours
Well, one of examples of "Latvian grammar" might be the way I start the sentences with "Because" and overall split the sentences in two if I feel like running out of breath, my built-in English editor suggests that it's wrong. In Latvian, it is quite alright, not perfect, but still good. Latvian grammar is different also because there is no certain order of words in a sentence (we can say "can we say" and "say can we" without being mocked as Star Wars fans, just giving different undertones for the sentence), perhaps I use this in English, too (although in school they drilled the correct order for English words pretty much, even my 5 years old son, who knows just some words in English, can construct "gibberish" sentences in English - right word order, absolutely no sense).

Hagi, I read somewhere on a post of yours
that English is your second language and you bend the rules to include Latvian
turns of phrase. I like the way you write, and the feeling of being drawn along
on a journey. And i enjoy the way you weave in myths and old stories.
