My bilingual nephew says that Kant is easier to read in English than the
German in which it was written..

My dad had to go to a French-speaking part of Canada and the man he was
seeing took him home for dinner where he met the colleague's wife and
children. All of them were bilingual English and French. They sometimes
spoke French to each other. However he noticed that the children *always*
spoke English when they were playing. He asked them why and they said that
they found English to be a better language for expressing themselves because
there were more ways of saying *almost* the same thing with subtle
differences (except they may not have put it so eloquently at the age of
five!).
