I'll add mine:
a. French, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Dutch, depending on the situation, and
with equal easiness for simple counting or calculating (I mean additions,
multiplications and such).
b. French or English, depending on the situation.
c. I never pray in words, more in feelings (I'm spiritual but not religious).
d. French and English, with lots of code-switching (interesting).
Well, you can say I'm a French-English bilingual :) . Since English is the
language I use to communicate with my boyfriend, that's not surprizing :) .
That's what happens when you're in an international couple :) .
