I was responding to Aimee's post. If you read this...

"My uderstanding of it is that languages are either set on or off. If you can understand it, you can speak it, and vice versa. The code will have to be changed before understanding w/o speaking happens."

I am not slamming Aimee however the statement is incorrect and coding change is not necessary. Whoever Aimee talked to while the game was on AOL obviously misinformed her.

So as not to derail....

As has been stated, Arachnians are supposed to be highly intelligent and should be able to learn other languages. The question is, for a race that despises/hates every other race, who would teach them? Or more to the point, who would an Arachnian suffer the instruction from?
This could go both ways. What Arachnian would bother teaching a non-Arachnian the language?
