Back at home. I'm finally done with my summer classes, passed all of them, and now I have my month of freedom. Not too much else to tell you guys. I hope you're doing productive things with your lives, and that those productive things are thoroughly satisfying. I know mine are

1) Plastic is made of dinosaurs and people. First, you have to wait, like, a billion years for the dinosaurs to become petroleum. While you're waiting, people will have developed. Buy the plastic that they make with the dinosaurs.

2) An average sentence, at the college level, contains 15 to 20 words. The average word is about 5 letters. So, the average sentence contains 75 to 100 letters.

3) The most widely spoken language in the world is Mandarin Chinese. The least spoken language is probably one of the many which is made up between siblings or close friends ... and that they speak only to each other.

1. I believe that plastic is a petroleum byproduct, at least some forms of it are. They do some sciencey stuff to make it, I assume.
2. (See above)
3. Well, there could be many answers to this question. There are hundreds if not thousands of indigenous languages spoken all over the world by only a few people. Sometimes, languages differ greatly between small and distant villages, especially in Africa or South America. Now, as far as languages I can name, I would say that Ladino (Jewish Spanish- "ke me kontestax a las tres preguntas") could be in the running, as well as Yiddish. Welsh or Gaelic could also be an answer, as well as Icelandic and Faeroese. Kashubian might alreadyy be a dead language. Estonian and Latvian are considered to be endangered, and there are very few speakers of the Latgale dialect. Perhaps one of the most linguistically rich regions of Eurasia is the Caucascus, hundreds of languages are spoken there, some onlt by a few hundred people.
