Dear Roger:

Subject: language politics

Thanks for that article by John Daniszewski, Times Staff Writer. It's a
matter so near to my heart, mostly by virtue of an Irish Grandmother. But
one niggle - how can a man so passionate about language & Ireland be unaware
that 'spital' is an old word for hospice in both languages, out of the
Church Latin? By the way: Has somebody a clear insight into what went wrong?
How does the Irish situation differ from the Welsh, Afrikaans or Hebrew, to
say nothing of the Catalan?

Bye,
Mark
