indeed, the romantic languages are amazing. i feel the need to respect a dialect because you can offend people you know by talking to them in a formal tense, or people you don't know by speaking to them in an informal tense. there really is no equivelant in english, but it would be kind of like always calling your best friend "sir" one day after years of calling him "dude."
