There is no fury to express for me on this, rather a wondering what this
really contains, this kind of debate. What's going on?

In one way, I must give support to one of Elisabeths points. There are
other languages in the world.

Fortunately, I think.

What's the problem about the fact that various languages are visible on
this list?

I dont think it will be turned into Babylon so fast.

For those that doesn't like to read mails in a foreign language: It is just
to push the delete button. Should not make you loosing to many calories,
should it?

Again: Why this fury?

As for me:  I personally find pleasure in reading foreign languages aloud
trying to catch the sound of it. That's why I became a fan of James Joyce
and Finnegans Wake.You guys would have been furious at a performance by
Theatre du Radeau or at the Shakespeare performance The Tempest by theater
director Karin Beier.

I must say: your loss.

Of course, as a working class girl thrown into the academia, this is
something I learned at the Universty. It's a completely usesless and
bourgeoise aestetisation of language.

I know. This list is for learning. Useful learning. Not for useless pleasure.

Don't be curious. Let's remove anyone different.

Jeg kan ikke helt se grunnen til =E5 bli s=E5 sint, Elisabeth, som sagt, det er
lov =E5 slette mail en ikke gidder =E5 lese.

Men uansett, det var p=E5 tide noen minnet disse folkene p=E5 at det fins
mindre spr=E5komr=E5der.

Jeg lurer imidlertid p=E5 hva du driver med i Trondheim, hvorfor du
interesserer deg for Bourdieu?

ok

Denne gangen er min henvendelse til deg p=E5 norsk en liten demonstrasjon.
Hadde v=E6rt hyggelig =E5 h=F8re fra deg. Men vi kan kanskje fortsette utenfor
listen?
