It's related wisdom from a Austrian pal of mine. Not that I was told everyone knows english or any other 'group' of languages - but I was lead to believe knowing a bit about a few languages is not nearly as uncommon as it is over here.

But - I guess I'm just not understanding why other langs are any kind of pwob. Are there roving bands of excessively florid Lithuanian SAAB owners lurking somewhere on the internet looking for a NG to pounce?
