I should have said "to master" and not "to learn" earlier. Learning the basics of a language seems to be quite easy in most cases. Mastering on the other hand is a whole different story.
Few things compare to English, then. The rules are complex and deep and the vocabulary is enormous.
Every ESL speaker I know tells me that English is stupid damned hard as a second language
Definitely. The only big benefits that it has to ESL speakers is the huge volume and easy access to television, movies, YouTube, forums and more in English. Pretty much anyone can easily find English language material to watch, listen to and read almost anywhere. Finding Romanian television, even in Romania, is hard, for example.

It is. I do speak German, English, French, a little Spanish and a very little Dutch and Danish. People tend to say English is easy, but it isn't. Weird sentence structure, weird time forms (-> didn't take vs. didn't took for example).

Well I've done it - Just ordered a EdgeRouter X and a AC Lite for the home. Along with a Draytek 130VDSL modem.
Now to play where to put the AP in the house.

It seems to be randomly happening for some folks. I've not seen it yet, myself.

I was getting this all last night when I tried to login.

That's very odd. Have not seen it here in weeks and only then on a known restart when it should be expected.

Load was quite high yesterday, though. Near record levels.
-
Actually just looked, we ARE at an all time high right now.
