Elm, you've got it wrong again. Tarken-san was born in Canada. He visits it. He doesn't live there. He's fluent in Japanese - see snowadventures.com [all his own work], understands French okay, and does okay in Mandarin. The fact that somebody is fluent in two or more languages doesn't mean they hold two conflicting ideas in their heads simultaneously. It's absurd to think that people using a common language think the same. You and I are using the same language right now, but you aren't agreeing with me. Heck, I don't even agree with myself from one week to the next and I only use one language. People aren't prisoners of their language. Language is just a communication tool, a way of reasoning and filing information in the brain's filing system. People have ideas that they can't put into words. People have an idea, then say "It's hard to explain", or "I can't put it into words". People are limited by the limitations of language, but are not prisoners of it. Different languages have succinct ways of describing ideas, but language is just an abstract model of reality, not reality itself. Anyway, you know all this. Mqurice
