    Cute. Ayn Rand spoke several languages. Of course Russian was first. She learned French as a child. We assume that she added German through Yiddish, but no canon supports that. She mentioned knowing German well enough to read it. And then came English, which she called the greatest of all languages. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ayn Rand had a deeply intuitive grasp of the psychology of language.

    She was also fairly consistent with beginning the names of her heroes with an antibacchius meter. Those of you who aren’t into poetry-- An antibacchius meter stresses syllables like this: stress/stress/unstressed. It’s a formal mechanism.
