i lived in paris for 5 months but i never took any french in school only spanish. guess i forgot over time how infrequently the final consonant is pronounced. more like kroo set.
i think jim was partial to the germans and if he was an actual academic would have liked to be able to read ancient greek. i was a history major. philosophy appealed to me but was either too abstract or i was too dumb or lazy or high or a combination of the three.
both of us would have had to have foreign language upgrades for advanced degrees.

Were you a philosophy major? I was surprised that Jim didn't have to take French in school, I thought that was a requisite.
