Very interesting essay on Daniel's language skills and acquisition

[brainofck]

I have been toodling through jackslashdaniel these last few evenings.

I came across this tonight.

It's a very interesting hypothetical outline of how Daniel came to speak so many languages. It appeals to the language geek in me. :)

The little exchange in 1969 where Daniel innocently answers the question "Vy Russiskii spioni?" (Lord help my decrepit transliteration skills) is one of my favorite Daniel moments.

Mmm, I remember reading that after trolling through J/D memories. The other posts mentioned in comments are good, too.

*hearts the geek that is Daniel*

I'm a weak, weak person when it comes down to geeks. Specially ones that are so freaking adorable as that one, you know? *g*

Argh. And now I don't have the time to read that whole thing because I have a class to go to! *grumbles* Tonight, I swear. *nods* *runs off to class*
