Wow. I'm very surprised that he didn't list French.
And even more surprised that he did list Russian. Because, frankly, his Russian accent is dreadful. And he doesn't even know the basic G=V rule for genitives!
Language Liberalism Freethought Birds Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds. Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time. The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church. If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
I'm amazed he didn't list French either, because his diction is fairly good. I'm just grateful he didn't try to claim Portuguese ;-)
ReplyDelete(I suspect the answer was supplied to "Parade" by a publicist, although such an individual should've known to mention French).
