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.

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).

I'm now trying to learn Russian just in case.
The cyrillic alphabet is tricky though.
And it's different between Russia and Ukraine.

I'm fairly fluent in three languages, plus one regional dialect.
I speak English
I speak American
And I speak Canadian, the dialect I'm fluent with is Northern British Columbian. eh?
