"Stupid American educational system."

It may only have been said tongue-in-cheek, but wiser words have not been written on this blog, for sure.

It seems that some people skipped the 'Humor' class at their high schools.

I had to laugh when I read the comment about the "Stupid American Educational System." It's nearly impossible to get kids to take English these days.

Here's a thought, if you wanted to learn French, why didn't you take the class? Of course, in America today it is easier to blame someone else for our shortcomings. Sheesh.

I do know some Spanish, but I was never good at it. Makes sense since I am not very good with the English either.

I'm very surprised that you don't learn any french or spanish in united-states.

Putting the site through the Google translator yields some insights:

The receipt : Take a computer, add a layer of operating system, then a layer of Firefox, the free butinor. You now have sesame for the Google universe, all your applications turn on the combination of the gigantic waiters of the house and Firefox.

Constip頷aiter? It is not rare and I hope well to finance an Indian contractor who presents tempting technical ideas for the diagnosis and the acceleration of the transit of the applications.

(I assume "waiter" should be "server.")

Google translate is a wonderful thing
