Thanks for those eloquent examples, Greg. I find it interesting that some find the diversity you mention a negative, or at least a threatening, prospect. As for me, I love it. Human language remains stubbornly independent of all attempts to tame or categorise it, which means there's always something interesting and surprising going on. It also means that unexpected connexions between peoples can be found embedded in their usage traditions, which is a great (and eminently scientific) basis for human unity.

Nice to see you again, Greg.
