If 'bilingualism' is expanded to include math and programming languages I would say it does effect intelligence directly.

But then again I haven't met many super-geniuses to compare against.



If “bilingualism” is expanded even further to include having wealthy parents who are legacies at Harvard, I would say it does have an effect on outcomes.


I don't get your sarcasm. How do 'wealthy parents who are legacies at Harvard' constitute a language in any form?


Ugh, you’re right. I guess they’re as orthogonal to bilingualism and spoken languages as programming languages and math are. My mistake.


Sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet, I highly doubt even 10% of readers understand what your trying to say.

If your not going to clarify, I'm going to move on.
