The Important Thing Is To Be Able To Understand Anyone Who Has Something Useful To Say. - There Is A General Moral Here. Be Very Careful And Very Clear About What You Say. But Do Not Be Dogmatic About Your Own Language. Be Prepared To Express Any Careful Thought In The Language Your Audience Will Understand. And Be Prepared To Learn From Someone Who Talks A Language With Which You Are Not Familiar.
