not many people know this but we bilinguals are so good at being multiple language speakers that we actually outnumber the entire human population several times over

it's not a story the monolinguals would tell you

@hikari oh huh didn't know that many other bilinguals were also plural (as a result?) /j

@hikari “Is it possible to learn this power?”

“Not from Duolingo”

@saagar THANK YOU

@hikari For a given definition of 'approximately' I am sure this is true.

@hikari ok but how approximately are we talking

@hikari if u speak four languages u count as 4 people

@mcc @hikari Unfortunately I think some of the people I meet are bad enough at communicating that they would count as a fractional person

@saagar @hikari Oh oh OH that's me!

1 English
1/2 Spanish
1/2 Toki Pona * 1/2 (Toki Pona is small)
1/10 German
1/10 Japanese
1/40 French
Mandarin… Trace quantities

= 1.9751 humans

@mcc @hikari I mean yes except these people are like your list if it had one of those items not including the first one
