>yesterday you mentioned the Languedoc region of France, I think. A friend (French teacher) informed me that it got its name from the other French people's referring to the gluttoral sound the inhabitants made: "la langue d'oc" or "the language where they go 'oc'" (bit like "the Knights that go Neep", I suppose :-)

>On a similar vein, I understand that the word "barbarian" came from the Roman's disdain of their language, saying that they all go "bar - bar - bar".

But the really pressing issue here is... How does it feel to have your name up in lights on a hot thread such as this? Will you get royalties? What about future threads? Any plans there? How does it make you feel that you got second billing to Dragan? And don't give us the "it was alphabetical" stuff; we know better...
