================================================ Subject: Re: Multi-lingual signs... Multilanguages From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 6 Aug 2001 18:59:26 -0400 ================================================ I think that it is appauling that the whole world seems to use one computer system.(M$) On defense of the world being on M$ instead of multiple platforms. I don't have to worry about fees or paying for upgrades.While M$ is contemplating required upgrades and fees. Why learn another language? Unless it is better than the one that you already have. In English, I don't think that there are too many things that are not easily expressed. Shameful that i can't speak "Jive" or shameful that English is such a widespread language in the US? I see no need for multilingualism. Since English is a language partly derived from other languages of people that were conquered on it's journey amoungst the populace. Hopefully monolinguistic can take me through the rest of life.
