Heh, I'd look at that a bit differently -- I think that there's a 
*lot* of bad languages, it's just that we're spared ever hearing about 
the majority of them because they don't ever get very far. ;)

(But then, at my job I'm stuck using a horrible Frankenstein's monster 
of a proprietary language on a daily basis, so I can't help but 
believe that there's plenty more awful languages around that didn't 
happen to be "rescued" from oblivion by an accident of history...)
