>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 26 15:03:43 2010 No.1955256 Foreign language learners are usually most susceptible to wordplay.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 26 15:09:43 2010 No.1955271 Puns are the highest form of humor.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 26 15:10:43 2010 No.1955278 Nothing more really, just anecdote. I'm a L2 speaker and I remember reading http://internet.ocii.com/~cmeek/puns.htm for days in the early years of the internet.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 26 15:22:43 2010 No.1955315 >>1955256 This sounds interesting and true. I can't really confirm this, because I don't know shit about this, but it's logical that knowing more words + knowing more words with same meaning leads to better puns, which leads to liking them more.
