Is it necessary to dedicate an entire thread to something of such little consequence as English? Usually we just criticize the spelling of trols and let it go at that.

It's the sort of thing that makes an interesting e-mail. You know, like the ones full of "facts" that are not true. This one is true and amusing.

I am sorry to hear that you think there is so little consequence to English? Try posting to all of us in Esperanto and check the response.

I wonder why (1)English is a requirement for most college majors in China and India and (2) is taken by most sciene and business majors in Japan, Korea as well as many European and Latin countries. Somehow, they all do not think English is of such little consequence.
