Sorry - that was a smartass response.

I've had some some experience indicating that people who learn to
think in multiple languages gain some degree of advantage in solving
problems - perhaps something to do with being able to bring different

it's ever tested or not, I would thing that maximizing the ability to
communicate would be a plus for anyone.
