    Maybe learning Swedish was worth it?

    Bilingualism delays onset of dementia

    OTTAWA (Reuters) - People who are fully bilingual and speak both languages every day for most of their lives can delay the onset of dementia by up to four years compared with those who only know one language, Canadian scientists said on Friday.

    This means I'll be able to recall the full year of my life I gave up to learn Swedish just that much longer.

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........maybe this language learnin' is good after all;)

    I wonder if they count "southern" as a language? That will mean I will speak 3 and I can add yet another year to my mind!
