Do most of us really ever master it? As my father always says, "English <br>
is the only foreign language I know". Having lived in other countries, <br>
namely Japan and Finland, I can tell you mastering another language is <br>
anything but easy. As no human language is the natural language of <br>
silicon based AI, I can imagine the difficulty it has. I still assert <br>
that most humans have not really "mastered" any language. They may have <br>
learned enough to get by, but that is far from mastery.<br>
