Blog #3- Asimov and Sedaris

Asimov and Sedaris both speak similarily about language. Asimov believes basically that your only as smart as what you know. He says if your a mechanic then you know only about cars. If your a book worm you educated and know about academics. That's his language, that you only understand what you have learned to understand. Sedaris on the other hand speaks about his harsh teacher he had while studying in France. He talks more about actual language. His teacher would abuse her students if what they said wasn't perfect or she didn't approve of what the students were saying.
Both writer's to me are saying that your only well educated on the language you know. Asimov was well at learning and doing well on tests. So his language was more academically strong. He was unable to speak about how to fix a car because, that wasn't his language. Sedaris language was English and in France the French didn't like how him and some other's metioned in the story could not speak perfect French. He was also saying your only as good as the lanuage you speak. Both men's aspect on language were very interesting to me, who would have thought language could be more then just how you speak?
