Monolinguals are so gauche I don't even trust them to be humiliated properly.

I would certainly never let them do ちんこ舐め on account of their unskilled tongues would mess it up somehow.

The British lost the English language in 1812 with the rest of the good points about their society.

This proves that you're wrong.

Yahtzee is a TFer?

That was pretty awesome.

I've been bilingual since birth (Hungarian is #2, cool language to know but not useful at all), took Latin in high school for some reason or another but then dropped out of Spanish in college cause I was failing. So from that I just assumed I wasn't good at languages but turns out no, it's just when I have other things to do I won't sit around memorizing a vocabulary list.

Am now living in the Netherlands trying to learn Dutch, and it's been an interesting experience. Mainly because the hardest thing about learning Dutch are Dutch people themselves cause I've yet to meet one who didn't speak English, and they're all super nice in switching to English to "help" you.

Andromeda: I've been bilingual since birth

How could you be bilingual when you were born?

RexTalionis: Andromeda: I've been bilingual since birth

How could you be bilingual when you were born?

Babies acknowledge their native language within 24 hours of birth, I was born to Hungarian parents in the United States. I learned learned both English and Hungarian at the same rate according to my mom, but my English is definitely better these days cause that's what I use unless talking to family for the most part. A visit to Hungary gets me back to speed quite quickly though- not sure if anyone will buy it but I swear my brain switches over to completely different thought processes when I think in one versus another.

Okay, I was more referencing that at the moment of birth, you couldn't have knowledge of any language systems.

/Yeah, I'm pedantic like that.

Meh. They're all human languages.

Try learning Klingon.

Ah. Well thanks for clarifying, I'm sure everyone would've fallen into that nefarious trap of wording had it not been for you! ;-)

Learned. The word is learned.

素晴らしいカムバック。

Mi scusi. Non parlo molto bene italiano.

CrispFlows: Mi scusi. Non parlo molto bene italiano.

Va bene. Io capisco.

Broom: RexTalionis: Okay, I was more referencing that at the moment of birth, you couldn't have knowledge of any language systems.

/Yeah, I'm pedantic like that.

And you're still wrong.

As Andromeda noted, babies already have knowledge of their native language system at birth.

Now, if you'd said "comprehension of several useful words", you might have had a case.

Eh, that's just arguing semantics, ain't it?

In any case, when you are being born, you're being either extruded through your mother's vagina like toothpaste, or being plucked from a hole in her side. I highly doubt that one would gain any knowledge of their native language systems during such a traumatic event. Now, maybe you'll start gaining it very soon afterwards, but at that exact moment? Probably not.

/Andromeda knows I'm kidding. Lighten up, dude.

/wrong again
//wait, what?
