EvH - True but don't they say when learning a language we always think in our native language then translate?

I think that you can only really consider yourself fluent in a second language when you can speak it without translating it to your first language in your head. In that case, I'm not quite fluent at French yet!

Did you know that the metric system has been legal for trade in the U.S. since 1866?

But has it ever been used?

Steve.
