Ego vs Ergo

I'm a polyglot: I grew up in a bilingual household, went to highschool which taught two languages and subsequently did three university degrees in two languages. A linguist should have access to more than one language; in some cases, it's even a requirement for further study, like a doctorate.

Given this and my nearly overwhelming interest in world events and cultures, I took time to learn the basic grammars and writing systems of several other languages: Greek (Ελληνικά), Arabic (العربية), Russian (русский) and, latterly, Hebrew (עברית).

After a bit of work, I'm glad to see that I was able to bring my Blackberry Bold 9700 up to the standard of localization I have come to expect from my iPod Touch, which came with all of these languages pre-installed and enabled. I nearly went with an iPhone for this very reason.

I can now read, write and translate on-the-go in a variety of languages: it's a polyglot's dream.
