That's what I like about Usenet, you can make a fool of yourself in
front of millions of people and never know they are amused much less
rolling in the aisles. Sorry Dave if you meant to put a smiley face
on your post and forgot it. You should travel to France sometime and
get the language bigotry issue turned around (those french people seem
to believe that _French_ is the international standard language you see ...).
So why do you believe English is the international standard language?
Why isn't it Japanese? Or French, or German for that matter?
