So I can speak with about 0.01% of the things I meet that don't speak
English for 7 points or with 100% for 30 points. One of these things
is clearly better than the other unless the GM is deliberately ****ing
with the world to have Ravens show up with im****tant messages for me
every 5 minutes.

Mary didn't say that the two had the same cost or that you couldn't
buy Speak with Ravens. She said Speak with Everything is clearly a
better deal, you and Brian appear to be disagreeing with her by
providing sup****ting evidence that she is correct.
