Re: andy rooney
Linda, that was many moons ago for me. Today, I speak fluent Americanese, a smattering of English and dream in German. The only time other languages even remotely come out is when I'm really upset and then you'll get a syllable in one language, a word in another and nothing coherent. Heck, I can't even remember the simple stuff like please and thank you in most of the languages. They really were forgotten as quickly as they were learned.
BTW -- Did you know that the Japanese have absolutely no curse words? However, their insults are priceless.
