Cunning LinguistsLanguages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?
Anyone have a clue? at all? I know its probably middle english. Google searches dont turn up much other than something about "lines from love letters" but thats a bit vauge for me.
