Substitute "little" for "few" to remain true to the character of the English language.



Do you know how rare an opportunity this is?

Avatar, you'll only need your Dutch dictionary when talking to Rikard.

sarcasam is a very low form of wit as i recall you saying some time ago - over and over and over again. however, on a happier note, i'm pleased to see that you've taken the idea to heart and are now using it with aplomb.
