apropos of nothing: part 3,963

I learnt to speak Welsh, once (I'm not very good at it because no bugger speaks it much outside of Wales*). I'm glad I did, though, because if I hadn't learnt about all the different mutations in Welsh, I never would've spotted them in Japanese.

If you think they don't exist, you're doing it wrong (or not reading your dictionary right).

I would provide examples, but I can't think of any. So, uh, talk amongst yourselves.
