    I think that's one of the bigger problems where I live...it's a one-language deal. 2nd (or 3rd+) languages are not made mandatory or even pushed/encouraged for the kids in school.
    For that reason, I believe many (if not the overwhelming vast majority) of other countries are FAR FAR ahead in that respect.
    And the part that is really sad... Many people using English as a second language use it better than ones that only use English. Maybe that should be "use English only"??

    Yeah, Word. One day I am sure it will correct syntax and grammar like a pro.

    Firefox do some syntax check... but syntax only... Oh well, as long as everybody put some effort and try to understand when it's obviously translated from x-to English with Google or else translators.. everything is OK.

    Actually, I meant WORD in the manner that would suggest an affirmative response, such as 'YES' or 'OK'...it's slang, but I 'smell what you're cookin'
