Imagine, if you can, a world in which people in different regions spoke different languages. Yes, I just asked you to imagine reality, but let’s step that up a notch.

No, I’m bent on making this summer last, I’m going to play a lot of golf, a lot of tennis, and even do some hiking in Glacier National Park. But, as much as I...
