I think you've already answered these, but I have deficient short term memory.Ok, here's three more:
1. I am fluent in Middle English.
2. I am fluent in a secret language I made up.
3. I have written Star Trek porn.
- Lie. No one has been fluent in Middle English since Geoffrey Chaucer.
- Well, Truth, maybe, though I doubt it. A language is a very sophisticated, symbolic, semantic system (think of, for example, ASL). Private languages do exist, but usually among isolated peoples with sensory problems (see Oliver Sacks' Seeing Voices.)
- Truth. Hasn't everyone? Beverly was relieved to see that, during his capture by the Borg, Jean-Luc had retained his natural generational organ, which sprang delightfully to life at her soft, yet clinical, touch.
