Thanks MissMisa! It's good to hear, I also like old fashioned words (in my language) they can sound rather pleasant, and even if we don't use them anymore they're still understood. Some of my emigrant friends tend to use them a lot, as their family went to live in other countries and they didn't developed with the 'live language', they stuck with the one which was used 50+ years ago, but as I said I enjoy their 'strange' dialect.
Now I understand there shouldn't be too many 'old' worlds in the dictionary anyway so I'll be fine.

Thanks to you too, it's a bit scary how many different dialect your language has. One of my friend told me that when he'd lived with a Briton family a few years ago, at the end of his four weeks there, the only thing he could actually learn to say with the correct accent was 'hello'(even-though he'd tried hard to learn more...). What I want to say is that for us, it's generally hard to learn British accents, American can be a bit easier but still hard. For example we don't use anything like your 'th', I think for me it's the hardest to pronounce. . .

That was an interesting video, I watched some more too, I must admit I never really liked Country-music but now, that I understand it a bit more, at least I find it interesting. (lol I hope it's not an insulting statement!)
About the language learning in the US: I admire the US citizens' attitude towards their country, even if sometimes it means overprotective rampage because of some sort of fears. But I can imagine that, it can be hard to be free when it determine your days, I really feel for you and hope it's not that bad after all.
And thanks for the tip about word roots.
