Ingmar,

I just noticed that something weird happens when I past some of your
messages into the issues: portions of them dissapear, seem to be stripped
away by the server. I suspect it has something to do with the headers
containing the address of the server. This may be a glitch in the system
posting from the archive/online interface.

Below the message again, this time without the header. Let's hope it works.

Reinhard/Ron

I never got that one before, Ingmar.

By the way, why should that mean that desired knowledge of Flemish indicates
a view that Flemish is an official language. At least I didn't suspect that
when I read it.

Knowledge of regional variants it very often desirable in hiring language
lecturers, so as to prepare students for differences. For instance, at my
university in China the German department made sure that they had
instructors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland at all times, so as to
expose students to different "accents," use of idiom and, yes, also
introduce local vocabulary. Apparently, students weren't confused, nor did
they think they were dealing with different languages. In fact, I could tell
that their listening comprehension was excellent.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
