You're out by two degrees. His co-ordinates are for Siauliai.
Also, I said he speaks Lithuanian.
If only I had enough willpower to learn any language, I'd be bilingual.

Woops.
Shouldn't you be posting in a colour like yellow? Not maroon. Maroon is my colour.
I am proud that I speak one of the most difficult living languages in the world (not counting different alphabet system ones).
As for your wish that everyone should speak English - then I wish the English language would be similar to Newspeak.

Be glad you don't speak Basque. It's like they shot x, z and k around randomly.
And Polish has too many zs as well.
Tri-lingual? Pffff.
Dutch (native), English (near-native), German, French. I can read and speak these languages quite well. Also I have the most basic tourism-words (hello, please, thanks, goodbye, ...) in various other european languages (italian, spanish, swedish, czech, greek)
Also most dutch people speak english (although with a terrible accent), and have a basic knowledge of either german or french.

Also, most Dutch people don't understand the Lithuanian "r" sound
And how can a language be near-native?
Yes, yes. You are superior to all of us. We get it.
I want to be trilingual, I know some French but hardly enough that it counts...

Like you (and many others here) Rysz's written English is so fluent that I would not suspect either of you are not native speakers, at least not immediately. If either of you claimed to be Americans I'd believe it. But not English. Neither of you demonstrate quite enough haughty disdain.
Also I hate Newspeak. The idea chills me. Destroying all the intricacies of my beloved, ludicrously complex language. I won't have it! I enjoy the ability to utilize near-synonyms like "retrograde", "retrogressive", "regressive", "backwards", "stagnant", "reactionary", and so on.
Indeed, the haughty disdain requires a certain time spent in this fine land. *Looks down nose*
By "this fine land" I hope you refer to the vast globe-spanning empire, and not that European island.
They are Os, dear, not zeros.
I hate to be the one to break the news, EUR007, but that empire's gone: everyone got sick of listening to whingy poms a long time ago. Well, except the Welsh and Scottish.
I have worse news. Even the Prisoners Of Monarchy stopped actually listening to the monarch even earlier. Now we just keep her about to offend Americans.
Besides, this country was founded by Irishmen and exiled Chartists. What more could you expect?
