This isn't an invitation to discuss the pros/cons and what-fors of tongues. I'm just looking to get a headcount on how many do and how many don't, regardless of the reasoning. There are already plenty of other threads in which to continue the debate. This one is merely to take a census.

Not against if done Scripturally. I've never done it though.

Yes, at least as far as my Chinese co-workers are concerned.

Americanized English most of the time. Occasional interjection of German, Spanish, French and Latin, Greek and Hebrew.

I generally murder the Kings English.

Mostly english...some french, but not much - the only reason my french teacher passed me in that class was because she felt sorry for me.

I speak fluent English, (unless I'm tired.) I'm also fluent in reading and typing typos. And, I can do a little bit of ASL. (I used to be better, but haven't signed since the 70's, and it's not like riding a bike. lol) Does that make me a polyglot? :p

LOL Et tu? (Latin for "you too.") I was secretary of the Spanish Club in college, but only because most of my friends were Hispanic or had an obsession with Spain. But I could get the gist of the conversation when they got all excited and forgot I couldn't speak Spanish. Because of club activities, I got to know all the Spanish professors. (All but one were kicked out of Cuba when Castro took over. The other one? Portuguese? Never did understand him, but he thought my pot was incense the day he came over without knocking first. lol) So I thought I'd take first year Spanish. Signs of failure hit when I couldn't pronounce my professor's name in his language or say the vowels right. But he gave me a C for effort. He knew I really wanted to get it. I just don't get languages. (And "et tu" is the only thing I can pronounce in Latin after three years of that too. I can write it. Can't speak it. lol)

In high school I received a 'D' in French if that tells you anything.

You must have been called a prophet for the tongues got stilled and knowledge fled away.

That would be an interesting poll. Are tongue-talkers more apt to have been good at foreign language -- in school or after school? Maybe it's connected, because I have such a bad ear for language, I have trouble understanding some English accents and some American accents.

Do not speak in tongues, but have seen the Holy Spirit work through me for healing a couple of times.

It's not a language you have learned - the language comes from God.

I have never even tried to learn another language in school or out of school . . . sometimes I wish I had . . . but I guess it's never too late!
