<br>
For work that I'm doing that has nothing to do with OS... because there are a lot of people on this list who are multi-lingual I hope that you will forgive me for asking an off topic question.<br>
<br>
For those who have a mother tongue (father tongue?) that is not English.... Does your language have a word that is the opposite of "lonely"?<br>
<br>
Feel free to respond to me off list..<br>
