In a way glad that it was brought up as it has just increased my respect for him. Btw don't have difficulty understanding him (at least thru google video) just was distracted by wondering why his accent was so different. Go Ton ! Did not know that trivia about Ton.

Being an american idiot, it took a while to get used to Monty Python also, but it was well worth it. Patience and understanding go hand in hand. How long did it take you to learn how to use Blender?

But you ate well and thus you are growing in my opinion. LOL @Jogai : no he is not my hero. I admire his accomplishments and I work hard to the success of Blender though. My personnal hero is a little 8 y/o girl named Noémie. @loos: everybody seems uneasy to speak about Ton's hearing problem and that is stupid. Some people, quite a few possibly, have a hard time understanding him. But it is nothing different than another kind of accent and after more or less time, that varies from one individual to the other, one gets used to it and forget about it. I've worked with impaired children for a little more than 4 years : it takes a lot of work and determination for someone to learn to speak in spite of not hearing well : a lot ! And the man learned a couple more languages on top of that : tip of the hat, matter closed and hopefully, dammit, discomfort an unease gone ! Jean @Bart : well too bad ;).

I had ravioli filled with duck and asparagus as a starter and swordfish for the maincourse. Ton had gnocci with mushrooms and a rib eye..
