Well we are not street kids that never went to school and grew up
in a gang. I think that this is one of the main reasons :)
I have noticed however that sammies in our group tend to get
quite a few foreign languages in char gen (mostly as chipps, but
hey who cares) and mages always take the nearly obligatory
latin/ancient greek/sperethiel for future use (as a centering
skill).
