All cannot be great linguists any more than all can be great inventors, and it were just as valuable and reasonable an expenditure of time to teach a child to be one as the other.
The gaunt Sucatash murmured sadly: "Them pilgrims is sure smart on g'ography an' history." "An' sheep especially," said the one called Dave. "Ca ne fait rien!" said De Launay, pronouncing it almost like "sinferien" as he had heard the linguists of the A.
Vincent, Desmoulins, Cuvier, Retzius, indeed I may say all the naturalists proper, have dealt with man from a no less completely zoological point of view; while, as might have been expected, those who have been least naturalists, and most linguists, have most neglected the zoological method, the neglect culminating in those who have been altogether devoid of acquaintance with anatomy.
Immediately after Mildred found herself surrounded by a group of Russian nurses. The Russians are amazing linguists and several of the nurses could speak English. Evidently they were overwhelmed by the honor the American girl had just had bestowed upon her. It had almost overshadowed for the time the greater glory of the young soldier.

"Very well," said Mr. George. "Tell him to drive on." This is a tolerably fair specimen of the success to which travellers, and the porters, and waiters, who "speak English," attain to, in their attempts to understand one another. In fact, the attempts of these domestic linguists to speak English are sometimes still more unfortunate than their attempts to understand it.
Thus they trace all the languages back to certain roots, which are more or less common to the different groups of languages. To the question that now arises How did these roots originate? the linguists give us three different answers. I, Lect.
"Dolce, ma non troppo dolce," said the Professor to the Mistress, who was sweetening his tea. She always sweetens his and mine for us.
