hi All,
while I'm afraid there will be no (easy) answer to this, maaaaybe someone has a clue to another source that is more detailed?
because wikipedia says it. the only source reachable is a book containing a short part about the "life & times" of W.M.V., a narration of Anne Nill about some peculiarities of W.'s use of the english language, and that he claimed "to speak 18 languages, all of them equally badly". yeah, you know.. fishing in the dark here, but if someone can show me some light, thank you.
the other source is probably an obituary in The Times (paywalled), but I guess similarly, ah, dubious.
best
gert
