ELL: RE: polyglottes

[teixantonio at NETSCAPE.NET]

Actually, in Portuguese is more like:

Todos nós somos poliglotas

or just

Somos todos poliglotas

there has to be an accent in "nós" (we, in this case) otherwise "nos" means either "us" or "in the" (masculine plural)
Both "poligloto" and "poliglota" exist but I think that the second is more common.
