Torture probe? Do you hit them or poke them with it?

Do you know any foreign languages?

No, unfortunately. I took French in high school, but my teacher didn't really care if his students learned anything; I spent many days playing the French version of Monopoly.

In college, I took a semester of Spanish, and I passed by the skin of my teeth. I tried drilling info into my head using flash cards and such, but I was reluctant to use the A/V center, which I'm sure slowed my rate of learning. In the years since graduating, my understanding has collected much dust.

If the txtspk of the 20somethings I know is any indication, we're headed for a public health emergency in sixty years.
