It sorta is, if you're never going to use them. But you can always entertain people with your language skills, and the skills are occasionally handy.

Damn straight. Such as buying a prostitute from far away lands, ordering food at a foreign restaurant, screaming obscenities at migrant workers as you drive by, etc. . .


. . . I'm beginning to think my mind only absorbs languages in order to use them offensively.

In a way it is. Language needs to be used in order to be of any worth. I can learn Swahili all I want, but chances are slim I'm ever going to use it. So the value of learning it would lie solely in the practice my brain would get by learning it. And in that case I might as well learn a language which I'm more likely to use during my lifetime, eg. French.

Then again, this can be said about learning almost anything, it's of no use if you don't use it (safe the practice for your brain).

I never get to know the answer of this question. So I'm asking it to a native: Are Romanians Slavs? :?

There are 6,000 species in the Hepaticophyta (Liverworts) Phylum! I also learnt that Liberworts reproduce asexually by gemmae, which are dispersed by rain.
