I think dmaster's mastery of English is getting to the point that he will be able to write his PhD in English at McGill in the spring...

Good mastery of the language is not one of my strongest points but I can swear in 6-7 languages and can get by in English fairly well and having lived in Quebec...Italy and having studied German in school and married in Germany,can get along (or used to be able to get along quite well)but now out of practice in German..Italian and French..

Newfanese is also one of my stronger language skills having lived there also as a impressionable youth from the ages of 8-12years old..when many of the words are learned..

Good eye dmaster and your points are well taken h-r..
