My French is still pretty up to par, though, and currently I'm taking a step in another linguistic direction -- studying the evolution of the English language and learning the grammar and vocabulary of Chaucer's English (I've already gotten the pronunciation down -- *beautiful* language).

I like Will Shakespeare and the Elizabethan english [best known in the King James version of the Bible.]
When I see "sans," I think of Will's seven stages of man, the last of which he says we end up"...sans teeth, sans hair, sans everything."
