And French. Now that's inexcusable.
What next? Onion sellers?

One mustn’t be too careful. After all, the subject which must not be mentioned must not be mentioned or else he who must not be named will be most displeased. Great things will happen, terrible yes but great.

So playing chess doesn't make you a nerd?

True enough.
I mean, playing chess doesn’t make you a nerd. Being good at chess does 
Hmm. I think that you shouldn’t respect someone more just because they happened to be born earlier than you. Everyone deserves your respect to a certain extent, but age shouldn’t be a factor. If some 50 y/o is being rude to me, you’d better believe I’m going to be rude back. (my opinion 
)
Also, a good rating for me is around 1500-1600 club. Rating is subjective, though, so it depends. An 800 is trash to a 1200, who is trash to a 1500, who is trash to a 2000. It depends.

No one really knows what Sanscrit sounded like or whatever came before it. Also, never forget we all started with grunts and groans. Language rules? Pffft.
I studied Sanskrit in school up until grade 8. Everyone who has taken a Sanskrit class in school like me knows what it sounds like. Even though it's not spoken by the populace now, the language is very much alive.
DD News, the government's news channel, even has a weekly news show in Sanskrit called Vaartavali. It usually airs on Wednesday and sometimes on Thursdays for some reason.
I suppose if someone were giving a presentation, and said "I have 3 pieces of advice . . ." then that would sound normal to me.
But in casual conversation, just one on one, it would sound overly formal / awkward if someone said "I have 3 pieces of advice for you."
