I won't. I have to many opportunities to curse, and anything other than english keeps me from getting fired.
My defaults are Spanish and Chinese. I gauge how bad things are, not by whether I am cursing or not, but how many languages I hit. :lol:

I wouldn't want to limit them on the amount of sucking they can take into account, since we're expecting to be quite bad. *nods*

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

That may have come across. I was attempting to write my rebuttal in as timely a manner as possible, so I may have botched it a bit.

No worries, then. I just tend to get irate with people more quickly when it comes to things like languages, dialects, accents, etc. because it's a way for people to mask more insidious things like racism and neo-colonialist sympathies. Or stupidity.
Astrolinium wrote:Well, it wasn't a language of daily use but rather one restricted primarily to sacred/scholarly use. And wiki says it was certainly not spoken as a mother tongue until its revival.

Wikipedia says that it wasn't spoken as a mother tongue on such an unprecedented scale since its revival. I'd be willing to bet that there were always small groups of people who spoke Hebrew at home throughout the centuries, just like all of those offshoot languages like Ladino, etc.
Astrolinium wrote:Hm, that sounds familiar.

No one speaks Latin as a native language.
