I'd like to repost something Michael posted a while back....
"I've just always been fascinated by languages and began to teach myself French at the age of 12, along with a multitude of other languages (e.g., Russian, Latin, Spanish, Italian, German, Kiswahili, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, Irish Gaelic) most of which I've sadly forgotten. My French is still pretty up to par, though, and currently I'm taking a step in another linguistic direction -- studying the evolution of the English language and learning the grammar and vocabulary of Chaucer's English (I've already gotten the pronunciation down -- *beautiful* language)"
Michael has made so many intelligent and insightful posts here at p-babble it would be impossible to try to list them. He has made a great impression here. He has helped and encouraged many people. Michael will be greatly missed.
