Let's be honest, the English language, while almost universal is sort of boring... unless spoken by the English or Aussies. I jest. What do you find the best language? French? Italian? Spanish? Japanese? Chinese? I took years of French classes, and I find it a very sensual language. To listen to a truly French person speak it, is like listening to music... they could curse you out and it would sound s3xy. Same thing with Spanish... there is a flow to the language. I can understand it far better than speak it, but to listen to it, there is just such a fluid stream and the pronunciations are amazing. Don't even get me started on those Italians. All of our mouths are capable of making those sounds, it is just a matter of training. I think the study of languages is really interesting, even going back to Hebrew and Latin, and ancient Egyptian scripts like Hieroglyphs. Makes me wonder what we are leaving for future generations to find... a bunch of cell phones with text messages saying LOL.

Spoken by a true musical fan judging by your quote. Love Nina Simone, especially that song.

I never thought I would get into a show like that. I daresay, LOL, Mr. Dupuis, was the hook.

I respect his desire not to go "Hollywood" and his preference to work, primarily, in his native Canada, but, it is so, the American audiences loss.

The best language would be the one that others understand. Because it's about communication, no?

Yes.

That would be a universal language, one that we all understand, and it's been said that MUSIC is it. 8)

No one should ever be excluded.
