Wow, a new study that saysPollution is bad and can cause a premature death. The asthma and childhood sickness are old news. Also another article that groups languages by structure. Its kinda interesting. Usually people go by the vocabularies of the languages. This article reminds me of my Sanskrit professor Douglas Mitchell at Rice. He is a heafty lingustic guru. He knows 32 languages (if i remember correctly). All indo-european. It is a commendable achievement. The scary part is that he said he taught himself. He says when he learns a language, he focus on the grammer and the phonetics. I reflect on his advice now and again, and I find it to be the Way.
