Re: Yer Ugly Mug is open for business!

Well, I put in the natlangs I had known for ages and did take seriously - ones
like Latin and Greek, Portuguese and Spanish, Maori, and even Old English.

I can still read most of them, though I lack many of the words - I usually
just keep going if I find I can't puzzle out a word, knowing it'll make sense
to me.

And no, my email isn't visible.  I don't want more exposure than what I
already have.

You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
