Which Reminds Me

All of this talk about languages reminds me of Mindy Anderson, a co-worker many years ago when I was living in California working at Lockman Foundation. Mindy had studied linguistics in college under some famous linguist, although I don't recall whether she mentioned his name, and she was saying some interesting things about linguistics, which is always somewhat interesting to anyone who knows two or more languages. If you only know one language then you really wouldn't understand, most likely. Which reminds me that one of our supervisors, Dr. Giacumakis, was working in the loft above us and perhaps overheard some of the bizarre things that Mindy was saying about theology, although he was gone for two or three weeks visiting his relatives in Greece on his way to or from some type of Bible training place in Israel. Which reminds me of Dr. Giacumakis mentioning that Spanish is about 40 percent derived from the Arabic or did he say Aramaic? Which seems odd because one is often told that Spanish is a Latin-based language, but perhaps not entirely.
