Good one! =D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471054 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:01:46 +0000 SoxsMom 471054@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank God his mother spoke to him in a language that would later be useful to him. I know that not learning a language in infancy can lead to a world of learning disabilities. This kid seems to not be the worse for wear. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471052 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:57:51 +0000 Kilroy 471052@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>A lot of stuff that turns up on the Internet is like that, Karen, asnd as a total info nerd I try my best to fill in the blanks wherever possible. Futile, maybe, but occasionally satisfying :0 </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471049 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:54:45 +0000 Karenopa 471049@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh for Heaven's sake...this article doesn't mention anything about the child being in high school or about the mother speaking english to him. I was assuming he was a three yr. old. Glad you're sharing more of the facts Kilroy. I appreciate it since the article was incomplete. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471043 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:46:06 +0000 Kilroy 471043@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's sort of implied by the article, but other articles make it clear that the kid's mother spoke English to him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471036 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:39:14 +0000 Vicki 471036@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kilroy, most teens who are multilingual learn multiple languages at approximately the same time while they are young; this article implies that the only language spoken to this child was Klingon. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471033 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:35:48 +0000 Kilroy 471033@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, he obviously didn't do any harm; the kid's in high school now and doesn't speak a word of Klingon. But who knows, maybe he has a facility for languages because of early exposure to something different? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471021 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:24:15 +0000 Karenopa 471021@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Are you kidding me? LOL! Dee where did you come up with this one? This guys a nutcase bordering on child abuser. Klingon is mere gibberish and not the least bit useful to this poor child's development and growth. There was definitely not enough information given in this article. =O </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471019 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:18:15 +0000 feral 471019@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>hahaha...Vicki,I was thinking the same thing but, you spoke it before me. Thanks. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471014 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:12:27 +0000 Vicki 471014@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Where's the child's mother? Did she speak Klingon to him, too, or did she teach him a usable language (such as English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Tagalog, - anything you will hear in day-to-day life)? The last time I checked, there were no Klingon immigrant applications submitted to the Bureau of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [formerly known as Immigration and Naturalization Services]). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23012#post-471006 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:53:03 +0000 Dee 471006@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2009/11/dinkytown_dad_s.php" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2009/11/dinkytown_dad_s.php</a> </p>
