I got to Thinking About your "Around the Campfire" Suggestion Round the Tail End of my Writing it, or Shortly Thereafter. You're Probably Quite Right.

What Happened was Done in the Course of Responding to a Basic, Brief Geographical Comment earlier in the Thread. Of course I Began to Notice I was Getting somewhat Long with it after awhile. I then Began Wrapping Up. (Not that it wasn't Nearing Completion Anyway). Beyond a Certain Such Point, -my particular Subtopic Matter Only Accentuated the Perception you so got. I Stand Corrected in that Way! Thanks for that Observation.

I also had Begun Thinking of your Other Point too. On School Language Requirements in itself. That Point of your's has some Element of Truth to it too. While there often could be a Lot of Ultimate Non-Use for such Other Language,-

-There could be some Very Handy and Helpful Uses for it sometime too! Including in Survival and Other Tight Situations! Just Look at What aardwolfe said about it earlier in this Thread. As Regards Getting Out of Tight Spots with nazis in Italy.

And I Think it would Serve America and our Interests Better, -if Substantially More of U.S. Knew at least Something, -of Another Language, Geographical Area, or Culture. Besides Only our Own! (As to "Only Our Own", -Like I Mentioned, -Some of U.S. Don't Even have That Down Pat!).

I Stop Now, -so I Don't Get Too Long OT Again! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]UTAlumnus[/email]
