I think it's great to enable both sets of abilities. I have the opposite 
need from Mimi: I easily understand English-based language words, but 
Pillings eascapes me. They might as well print Pillings in Egyptian 
hieroglyphs, for all the good it does me.

What I find very troubling is when I show up at a Ball or Dance Party where 
a Branch has only printed Pillings. It's as if the right handers are 
discriminating against the left handers, perhaps unintentionally, but 
possibly thoughtlessly...
