Ron,

Jy skryf: We would have a lot more passengers on our _Narrenship_ if fewer
people would take language for granted, if fewer people would see language
as a limitation rather than as a glorious, inexhaustible gift.

Hoor, hoor!!
In 'n navorsingverslag wat hier onlangs uitgekom het, word onteenseglik
bewys dat
kinders wat in hul moedertale onderrig word op primêre en sekondêre
skoolvlakke,
en nie slegs in Engels nie, net eenvoudig akademies beter presteer.

Terloops: Die Afrikaans vir die Th. Storm strofe lees beter so:

"Seun", sê die goeie ou maan, "het jy nog nie genoeg nie?"
"Nee!" skreeu die klein Hewelman, "nog, nog!"

 [Theodor Storm, _Der kleine Häwelmann_]
