Not all of them, I don't think. I don't do it - and I'm fully
bilingual in English and Russian. The two languages occupy
very separate parts of my mind.

I just wonder - do these two mind parts ever disagree on, say,
political or religious matters? Do they like the same food? Do
they perceive colours the same way, or could it be that red is
more beautiful to the russian mind slice? Does borscht taste
the same? Do swear words ever get ....ed up?
