Americans don't speak languages other than English?
They wouldn't ever finish school or get a good job without a respectable knowledge of the other language. And remember, nationalists are a tiny minority (albeit vocal). In German-speaking Switzerland as well, most learn English, not French. No, no. They can't graduate from high school without F. In the Northeast

why the -s in English verbs?
Forth's extensibility makes it relatively easy produce targeted special-purpose dialects and to adopt and adapt ideas from other languages and paradigms as needed.

Now this has nothing to do with the respective merits of both languages (FWIW, Perl, as a 'Practical Extracting and Reporting Language', beats any other language I know pants down), and I'd be sorry if you were to confuse what is mostly on the friendly jokes side with mere bashing.

Which Language Should I Choose?
My experience with other languages is small, but I don't think I've ever seen a comma before "et" in French, "und" in German, or "i" in Russian in such series. Is this a live issue in any other language? It's called the Harvard comma, Oxford comma or serial comma. The reasoning against it is that the comma

I thought I had changed everything (region, language and keyboard) back to English but I have missed something. Outlook Express says (in top bar) in each message, the subject - Arabic (Windows).
