Supposedly, it was in primary school…though everything I know about life and language I learnt from reading Heinlein’s Starship Troopers about twelve trillion times.

Which is a good thing and a bad thing. :?

My parents, who both speak English as a first language, insisted that I learn it before I went to college.

Klingon is my first language. :wink:
