Oddities of Studying Hebrew.

How weird it must be to be a speaker of modern Hebrew. Not only are you like Greeks, in that people who are studying "Hebrew" are actually studying the dead form of it, but they're also probably a different religion from you and think that Judaism has been permanently superceded and you're some sort of weird holdover.

When Israelis are disappointed that I'm not studying modern Hebrew, I offer to translate for them when they hold seances.
