Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I have a cousin's son who lives in Italy with wife and two kids, one no cf, but a carrier, one wcf--all doing fine. Cousin's son writes to me asking me to explain haemophilus influenza; (the guy is a big-time com puter expert and linguist). So, fouling up Italian with a little Spanish and Portguese, I somehow managed to send him a relatively literate ex planation in Italian--took me about an hour to do it, what with grammar, dictionary, medical dictionary, web-site link, etc. BIG post! About an hour later he writes back: " Cool, cuz! " That was it in its entirety. Heck, he has only lived in Italy for about 35 years and has a strong Italian accent! And NOW I find out that casual English might have done it! n, the perpetual overachiever, even if the effect is not to achieve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
