Thumbs down Mario Pei

Have you ever read texts in Sardinian and then compared them to Italian and Latin? I have, and I agree with the experts.
You're fluent in Latin, Sardinian and Italian? I'll look at what you have, I'm curious.

I think Mario Pei was a douche, he wasn't just 'wrong' Stewart he was a fucking traitor. That doesn't necessarily invalidate his investigations into Romance languages (which I'm sure were peer reviewed), its simply that when someone like this sellout opines on an issue of some import to Euro culture my first reaction is bullshit. And especially an issue concerning his 'native' Italy, which he stabbed in the back to curry favor with some of the slimiest anglo/jews that have ever breathed free air.

Like everything else, just my opinion.
