Two translators on a ship are talking."Can you swim?" asks one.
"No" says the other, "but I can shout for help in nine languages."
"No" says the other, "but I can shout for help in nine languages."
Sometimes knowing many languages doesn't save lives.
Sometimes you don't need a thousand words to put your idea across.
In most cases, facial expression (a smile vs a pout) and body language carry more meaning than the hundreds of words uttered. Of course when you're writing you'd have to mind your punctuation...

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?
Gloria
