Mike, you make me curious. This was totally opaque to me:
>Ya, k sozheleniu, ne znaiu Nemetskovo yazika. I bedni Yapontsi pishut

-- all I can guess is that coming from you it is in some way relevant to
the language thread...
Whereas Arne's intro I could read. German being my third, mute listener
language...
I was just wondering, Arne, whether your complaint about
hi-speeding conference Americans directed to the xmca isn't a little like
the teacher who scolds the part of the class that is present for the
absence of the absentees...
On the other hand you drop an interesting seed about the difference of
European diversity and American diversity.
