Mind your language

Post by Gob »

I did reasonably well for a change. 5/7

6/7, effing Mel Gibson. (I wouldn't have gotten the Cornish one but for the fact there was a give-away in the answer, and the Manx/Breton/Irish question was mostly a lucky guess.)
GAH!

4/7, and damn lucky to get that, everyone of my answers was a guess....
BBC quiz on minor languages
Now if it had been a quiz on "miner languages" every answer would have been the same...

"Welsh"..... :P

4 out of 7 but yeah the Cornish one was given away wasn't it (assuming they use that funny ? symbol) ?

I would have done better going with my first guess but I kept saying "Yeah that's what they're after - crafty bastards" but they weren't.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

4/7...missed the "effing Mel Gibson" one (I knew about the actual prevalence of those 4 languages in Palestine in the first century, but next to nothing about that movie)and both of the Celtic ones.
