Re: Another Essentialist Explanation

I wonder how relevant we might consider the following comparison: In English we say 'It's Greek to
me', but in German: 'es ist mir Spanish". And, in France, one dismisses a speaker
of imperfect French
with the insult: 'you speak French like a Spanish cow!'
I don't try here to render it in French, since my grasp of that language probably warrants that
description.
