Planet of the Apes lanquage problem

[willpittenger]

In <i>Planet of the Apes</i>, even after a nuclear war, we find out the apes somehow learned English -- and kept speaking it well enough that the "speaking" humans and apes could communicate readily. Furthermore, in the sequel where the apes make the trip into the past, the humans there understand them.<br /><br />Personally, I doubt English would survive so long -- and that is before the Nuclear war AND apes learning to speak while humans loose it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

Don't you know? They had the same translaters that were used in ST, but only different suited for their needs.

FYI: Some people have checked my ears for points on top. They probably also wonder what color my blood is. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

I find it even weirder that the only technologies that survives the apes rule are guns and cameras. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>
