in reply to Humour – an important mechanism for language learning

Humour? I don't know 'bout Perl, but I often find humour at Perlmonks: your posts, for example are quite humourous. Well, on a second thought they're not humourous, they're not funny at all, just plain irritating and annoying. Fun is there, but elsewhere. But perhaps I can make up some humour... how 'bout the following? "I notice that Win's 2 ½ year old niece seems to learn much more than her uncle: at least a new word every now and again, which, compared to... err, well, nothing is quite a lot!"
