So I look in the dictionary and see the word "monoglot." Of course, this striking word sharpened my curiosity, and made me eager to find out the meaning of it (who isn't drawn to the catchy word similar to that of "monopod"). I read the dismal definition that only too well fit me: monoglot - a person who only knows one language.
With a sigh, I put the dictionary aside, and wonder, is a person who knows more than one language called a polyglot?

Yes my dear, I am sorry to say it...you are definitely a monoglot.
By the way, my spell check didn't like that word at first...strange.
But I corrected it and told it is was a word.
At least you are not alone, Elly! Let's start a Monoglot club! :-)
Kirk and Jo can't join though. They at least know some latin. :) oh and german...
But not in the least bit very well!
Only a word or two here and there.
