It depends        JH>> on what you're measuring. [...]               WvV> You must be confused all the time... Can you teach that        WvV> to your children?              We seem to just "know" what to use depending on what we are        measuring. It's like English, we know when to pronounce the        hard C vs the soft C, etc.              My first language was not English, but in the house I grew up        with both. To me, it was like one language anyway. I would        flip to one language or the other depending on who I was        talking to, and I didn't notice any difficulty in doing that.              I remember my 1st day in kindergarten at some of the confused        looks of the other kids (and the teacher) when I talked to        them. Apparently I was using a bit of both languages at the        same time! I caught on fast though.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
