Reply To: In Telshe They Don't Wear Tzitzis, and Other Stories

You can also compare it to the old couple who had been married for many years. They were so tired of talking to each other that the man took a course in korean and tbe wife took a course in greek just so they could speak to each other without knowing what the other would say. Eventually they both got alzheimers and ended up in assisted living, but since they spoke different languages had to be cared for in different homes.

The moral is that by alzheimers, long term memory is the first thing to go.
