I'd like to see how the number of people afflicted is different in say the US compared to EU where most people speak at least 2 languages.

That's a great point, Evie!  It's very American to only know one language.

So all these languages I keep trying to learn might eventually pay off! I bet there'll be a Language Brain Training for the Nintendo DS out next year!
