Isaac Bashevis Singer made an interesting remark on the familiar subject of
Yiddish being a dying language.  It ran something along the lines of
"Between dying and death, there can be a long time."

And as long as I'm posting....How 'bout that allegation that English "stole"
from other languages?  How trite and misleading.  Poor embattled English!!
