spelling is still important...and everything... just thought i would share a great example of this:

buona serra and buona sera. they sound the same. but they mean completely different things. the first you would say to someone commenting on their gardening. the second you would say if you were leaving and it was the evening.

direct translation? the first is good greenhouse. the second is good evening. you can't really mess it up if you're just talking to someone...but you better be EXTRA careful if you're writing it!

if you're not amused...that's ok. i don't mind. but i am still enjoying the italian language, that's for sure. :)
