Hi Slawek-- I kind of thought you might fire off an answer like that, and I have to concede the point. As we say in English, "touché." We can't learn all the world's languages. English is now the lingua franca, and I suppose I should be thankful that I speak it natively. However, I do enjoy seeing messages in one of the languages I can read, and Anglophones like me are apt to be able to handle Romance and Germanic, but less likely to do Slavic, or far-away (from us) languages like Arabic or Chinese. Svensk? Jag kan inte tale Svensk... (I can't speak Swedish) but it always amazes me how much one can improvise and read in a language one doesn't know by guesing and using bits and pieces.
