I picked up on some of that.  I got bank, for sure.  There were quite
a few other words that I'm sure I got right.  "Dominee", on the other
hand, threw me for a bit of a loop, but I kind of figured it was some
sort of reference to me.  I am generally pretty good with grasping the
gist of the Western European languages.  As you move further East, and
they start using those funny shaped characters, I start getting a
little lost. ;)  I studied Thai for a year, way back when, and that
was a real challenge.  Lot's of fun, though. :)

In this case, it's interesting to see what folks around the world are
saying about LOSS.  If I can glean any comments on PitP, itself, that
helps me to improve myself in several areas.
