I took BASIC in high school, but it was Greek to me. ;~) LOL. So did I. It took me some years to figure it out. |

I apologize. But don't try to convince me that physical constants have no dimension. That is absurd. Tullio |

Yo estudio el Español por dos años en la escuela alta, pero muchos años... I don't know the word for "ago." I still remember enough of it to not be totally lost in a Spanish-speaking country, but I would not even call myself conversant. Other than that, I know the few common words most people do in other western European languages, and a few swear words (including Tom Clancy's favorite phrase of Russian), but that's about it. I also learned BASIC (Applesoft) in high school, but nothing else (unless you count MS-DOS commands).

The cyrillic alphabet is tricky though. And it's different between Russia and Ukraine. ypa:) |

I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists. Chris Hedges A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr. |
