Count your blessings. In our community more than 50% of the people
speak a language other than English at home. On a recent exam I had a
question that read in part, "Susan was reaching under a fence for a
squash when she hit her head on a post." One of the students didn't
know what "squash" meant, but what was worse was that she also didn't
know what "post" meant either! I'm real glad that I'm only two years
away from retirement.

Will knowing these help him get a better paying job? Just because one lacks
linguistic intelligence is no implication that one may not excel in other
forms of intelligence.I know a mechanic who never graduated from High School
who can diagnose an automobile by the sound of the engine.
