That's alright, Joe!  You're just a little behind in your reading through
the list. It makes sense for experience to trump surmise, though.  And Ray's
experience and duration far exceeds mine.  I lived in Swansea for over a
year and took the Wlpan (year-long intensive language course), spoke with
people at pubs and parties, but Ray has had the equivalent of a young adult
lifetime in Wales. :)
