Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on September 02, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Mihhail Lotman! Linguist extraordinaire and parliamentarian par excellence—your speeches are as timelessly eloquent as your grammar corrections. Whether dissecting complex syntax or debating policy nuances in the Estonian Parliament for Res Publica Party, you always manage to keep everyone on their linguistic toes.

Your recent successes continue inspiring us all: championing thoughtful legislation while effortlessly correcting everyone's punctuation errors along the way. Who else could seamlessly blend conservative politics with grammatical precision?

Here's wishing another year filled with sharp wit, insightful debates—and fewer misplaced commas from colleagues (though we know you'll catch them anyway). Cheers to many more brilliant moments ahead!
