Charles responds to Mary Krimmel's acknowledgment of
monolingualism: Somewhere, in some dim past, I remember
reading that 70% of the world's population have a sufficient command of at least
two languages.... Would anyone care to hazard whether 70%, or more or less, of
the world's native English speakers are monolingual?
Dear SES, you didn't say Charles Who wrote the note.
It would be interesting to learn if Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Vasily Kandinsky, Vladimir
Nabokov, Alexander Scriabin, Olivier Messiaen and David Hockney ( famous
synaethesists) spoke more than one language and if the colors and
sounds varied from when they recalled signifiers in English,
French or Russian. VN's rainbow apparently was mainly stable and priviledged
individual letters?

Almost three and a half inches in height, the shoe is a Mary Jane with a wooden
platform and a block taken out from the back heel. ": Not entirely true. I wear this fashion all the time, and I get
more compliments than insults.
I could not
picture these platform Lolita-style shoes, nor Lolita wearing them, although I'm
familiar with elevated shoes called "Anabela-heel" in Brazil, an astound link
with Lolita and Poe I'd never before have imagined ( like ADA's gene
evolving from Dea- Zeen and pure
Cathay)
