My dad happens to be an ophthalmologist. Obviously, his day-to-day activities include frequent vision tests on the patients. Since the patients belong to different educational strata, he is in the habit of asking them which language they know so that the corresponding side of the vision-testing drum could be set in front of them.
On one such occasion, a 30-year old lady informed that she knew the English alphabet. My father asked her to read the drum with her right eye. To my father’s surprise and amusement, the lady stood up and started uttering ‘A for apple, B for boy, C for cat…….’
