Popeye,
Your spelling is (ironically) atrocious, but your insight is keen. I speak
several languages more or less fluently, but I don't have a server from
which I can yank chains, so I must be stupid.
God love them anyway - they try to think, but nothing happens.
Scout

I bet in these several other languages, you brag about, you
can only tell the no's and the yes's.

Je suppose qu'en disant cela vous en effet confirmez mon hypothèse.
Ich denke dass Sie hier meine Unterstellung stabe.
Ik denk dat U hierbij mijn veronderstelling staaft.

I suppose your answer will be invariable one of these

Ja
Oui
Da
Si
Nai
Yes
Jawoll
Roger

See, I speak 8 languages now.

But he is so much on his oddy knocky, I would hate to spill his
grazhny guttiwuts without like provocation, for he has no pretty
