[100% veg*n ] my parrot is smarter then your honor student

[Guest guest]

This isn't true. When you look at written English, about half the words

there fall into the first hundred, but most written material needs some

of the other thousand words to make any sense.

 

So if we believe the claim about the parrot, N'kisi would understand this:

As:

 

*** ***:

*** *** words are *** for *** of all *** in ***, so if *** could *** he

would be *** to *** with a *** *** of ***.

 

Complete crystal-clear understanding.

I don't know whether N'Kisi really is that smart. I'd like to think so,

but that particular journalist doesn't seem to be big on the

fact-checking. Were it true, it would be pleasantly surprising.
