LOL! You may not find it hard to believe that I speak much worse English
after two years in the good ol' US of A.
As for that sentence, I just pretended Chris was saying it. ;-) Here's a
translation!
"I think it's more the cedilla [the mark below ç - Lindsay misspelled its
name!] than the letter. We don't like French over here. Are you and your
friends communist or something?"

The night of the 24th-25th. I was suffering from horrible insomnia and
decided it would be a good occupation.
I'm thinkin of adding many more "name pronounciation" keys. I'd like to know
how to say Larry's last name, for example, and there are many more I have no
clue how to say. (Chris teases me for how I say Dave Low and Dave Schuler's
last names, especially. I'm sure it's obvious to everyone except me...)

Sorry, my mistake. I was inferring that you were on your post-doc all this
year, but I guess it was a pre-doc? ;-) Good luck with all that!
