yes...
I am not fooling around when I say, "I know enough to get me into trouble but not nearly enough to get me out" regarding any language other than English (US not Queen's).

When I was a kid I used to translate for my mother, mostly help reading instructions and forms, and hated it. You learn adult stuff way too early.

But, polyglots listen differently and see things from alternative perspectives, an advantage in any field requiring analysis, creativity and understanding.

Plus it’s fun to eavesdrop when people have no clue you understand them.

One of the best reasons to learn languages IMO.
Plus, I hearing the original languages. Give me subtitles over dubbing every day of the week!

100% Agree.

Actors act with their voices and bodies, insert a dubbed voice and you take away the soul of their effort.

I found such a deal on a rifle. This one was made in 1940 and if it wasn't in WW2, then it dodged the draft. It had gone on sale. 20% off. Fuck it. There was room on that card. It's on its way. Well, it may take a few days to write an address label, but . . . .


Off to read.

I want to learn "I know what you said" in lots of languages to see facial reactions when I say it.....

I had to look it up. Then had regrets.
Reinforces my feeling of mostly okay being out of the loop.

Yep - no need for a catch up when you have such succinct summaries

Took me longer than it should

Then again, I've always said "coffee shops" tend to make the worst coffee. At least the ones that do volume business.
Always tastes burnt and bitter to me. Think it's a tendency to over roast the beans, brew batches too large and fast, and reliance on most customers adding ungodly amounts of ...fixings... that tend to mask the worst of it.
Not a popular stance, but haven't had a decent cup of black coffee at a coffee shop pretty much ever.
