      Y en el caso que absorbe más polémicas periódicas, el catalán, sucede lo mismo: nunca como hoy más personas han hablado y escrito en este idioma; nunca su lengua gozó de mayor prestigio; nunca la escuela fue más exitosa en brindarlo a todos sus usuarios, y nunca los escolares catalanes mostraron mejor dominio que sus pares en el manejo del castellano. Y con roces escasísimos.
