Hmm. Where are we four years later? The majority at qep'a' loSDIch could
participate in a five minute conversation. For some there would be a lot of
nodding and smiling, but following and making the occasional comment.
If the conversation was slow, on a restricted topic and allowed a fair
amount of repetition could we count thirty or forty who could do it? Am I
wildly optimistic or short? Does it count if the other person spends four of
the five minutes looking up things in the dictionary? :)
