Languages “I forget how you say that in English” I said in conversation. “What other languages do you speak?” --the reply from the man I was speaking to. I said, “Monosyllabic grunts and groans are my native language, as they are for all Men, as you should know. These formal 'languages' in practice today –they're all just contrived to appease the women in our lives, who couldn't understand what we mean in grunts and groans. You do know that, don't you?”
