True.  But my experience (of course limited) is that if someone
controls one, they can at least read them all, and very likely
write the others as well.  Except perhaps Gwoyeu Romatzyh.

"The exception proves the rule."  Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory."  Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts
the rule to the proof."  But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
