>Well this leads to an interesting theory I armchaired a few years back as to how "lingual" communication developed. By lingual I mean "toungue".

Any precise work does that to me. I purse my lips as if pulling a puff, but stick the tip of my tongue right behind them. If it takes too long to do, sometimes I feel that both lips and tongue got a little tired.

Should I have written "too longue", "pullingue"...? The "-ue" is never read after a G or another ue, but looks sort of nice :).

>French - I have a hard time with those latin like languages. Don't they know where the verbs go?:)

They do, and have much more liberty than you do. The structure of English sentence is too rigid, there's only about 4-5 ways you can toss the words around and still make sense, and you get about 2-3 different meanings that way. Any other ordering of words doesn't make sense in English. In English, any other ordering of words doesn't make sense. Any other ordering of words, in English, doesn't make sense. Doesn't in English any other ordering of words make sense (now this would be a question, right?). Ordering of words, any other, doesn't make in English sense (now this would be a completely OK sentence in Serbian, with "ordering" pulled up front for emphasis). Other ordering of words, any, in English sense doesn't make (this is a bit more literary like, but still completely OK in our grammar).

As you see, with liberty comes responsibility. In many other languages you can pretty much toss your words around, and out of 200 combinations which still make sense grammatically, you get about 150 which do make sense (semantically), and you get about 20-30 different shades of meaning - among them, a few with a mockery of the original meaning, doubt over original meaning, or just plain opposite to it. So yes, we need to know where our verbs go... and what they do in each of the possible places.

I figure you don't fret too much about nodes... :)
