Gil - thank you so much for your two-pesos worth on those OST signage
translations. I really appreciate it. And I remember meeting you in
the speaker preparation room at the IAF 2002 conference. It's nice to

Take care,

What is the full Scale?
And which cultures would you see as 'Oral(preferred) Cultures'?
I would suppose that mediterranean people are more 'oral(preferred)'
than the Germans (well, it's all also "average" thinking and there

thank you for being "long" in your writing.
Oh, I am not at all in a hurry. I started asking the list before
beeing in any situation of urgency. I want to use the time to get a
maximum of discussion and thinking and understanding.

Thanks Christine. That story happened almost two years ago now, and it
actually set me into a pretty strange spin for about six months. The
major issue for me was trying to reconcile the fact that on the surface,

Chris, your heartbreaking honesty causes me to take a deep breath, open my
heart, and thank you for allowing all of us to learn with you. I had a
similar experience last April and it truly took me months to work through

Hi Romy:
What follows is the story of the most conflicted OST meeting I have
done, the event that caused me to consider taking up goat farming. I
left all the warts is. Looking back, I grin with amusement and
amazement at that day, and how much learning I have done since then.
Enjoy!

In my experience there are Oral (only) Cultures and Oral (preferred)
Cultures, the latter being more people-oriented (versus task-oriented) on
the Kluckhohn-Strodtbeck Scale, even when very "literate" and with
postgraduate degrees. With both I make adjustments such as thos
