<DIV> </DIV>How delightful is this conversation about use of language - in light of some current 'research' that provides other reasons for learning new languages....<BR><BR><BR>1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than<BR>the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR>2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than<BR>the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR>3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks<BR>than the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR>4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer<BR>heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR>5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and<BR>suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR>6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of pirogues, cabbage rolls<BR>and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.<BR><BR><BR>CONCLUSION:<BR>Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills<BR>you.<BR><BR><BR>Brendan :)
