    Excuse my ignorance but is COBOL still spoken there? Sometimes language islands survive you wouldn’t expect

      I met a young man intent on learning, not as a first language, but he had hopes of becoming fluent

      My past job was as a translator between business (in their “requirements” and “feature” languages) to COBOL programmers in something like careful unambiguous English (of which most have a reasonable understanding)
