I am starting to wonder how they can learn to read and speak at all, because apparently they can to a basic level! Maybe we learn HOW through the lips? I am not sure, but I am curious to know more.

Thank you for bringing something with a bit more substance to TalkPHP It always good to engage the mind in such ways!
What a small world. I have a friend that interprets for a living...
