Sabina-nono, never more info than necessary. Seeing as I happen to be awake, I managed to read nearly the whole thing. It's fascinating! I'm a speech-language therapist and really love the linguistics-based aspects of my job...this stuff doesn't come up that often with 2 and 1/2 year olds though!
I think I'll ask my husband, who's French Canadian, if the scrambling thing works the same for him in French Canadian as it does in English
You wouldn't happen to be awake now would you?
