Sorry, I don't have much info other than it didn't have the critical features they needed in order for it to be useful. The details of those features I never asked about. What I can tell you is that I mainly spoke with cafes, restaurants an

I couldn't agree more, and I'm glad to see you picked up on this. I feel the same way. I'm far more comfortable, and have far more trigger time on one language over another, and those inherent nuances make me far more productive. Of course
