Guinness Records, text and claims[edit]

The reference to the 1985 ed. of Guinness' records doesn't match what the text actually contains, which is considerably more modest, if not actually vague in its description of Mr. Janulus' contemporaneous abilities. In fact there are editions electronically extant in both the Internet Archive and (limited) views of Google Books, from 1984 and following, with this spare sentence:

"Powell Alexander Janulus (b 1939) has worked with 41 languages in the Provincial Court of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada."

It says nothing in that regarding "fluency", and the following claims about a 2-hour test for each language appear to be conflated from some other reference completely unaccounted for. JohndanR (talk) 04:34, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
