[stylist] Writing Contest in languages other than English

[loristay at aol.com]

The problem with having other language contests is finding judges whose ability in those languages is commensurate with the entry.  I can read Spanish, for example, but can't claim any expertise in understanding or writing in it.

I, for one, am Lithuanian.  I take Lithuanian school on 
Saturdays.
Here are some words:
hello: labas
my: mano
yours: tavo
table: stalas

Although I like the idea of having different languages, I think 
that it could just be an option in the writers contest.  I speak 
both Lithuanian and Spanish, but am not grammatically very good 
at it as I am in English.  In English I'm a lot better and enjoy 
it more.  So maybe for his entry Gerardo could write in Spanish 
instead, and people just have a choice of writing in another 
language?

Cold it be possible that we pull together, with the members of 
the stylist mailing list, and see what languages everyone can 
speak.  Then, maybe we can find other
people who are also interested in writing in oth languages.  
Could that work?
