So, I can use this to throw virtual chairs?
That's because you can actually get some work done on a good Linux distro, instead of spending all your time rebooting and getting popups out of your face.
You'd be naive to believe they don't have a few robotic Gates' stashed away somewhere "just in case".
Don't worry. The government is too big to fail.

The fact that English is essentially a mash-up, a hybrid language, should exclude it from accentism. Even those from the United Kingdom aren't really native English, because English itself is a rehash of old frankish, french, and god-knows-what. Those of you who speak a "real" old-world language know what I mean... English is just cobbled together. It is dominant, but that does not make it an authority.
What fact? English is neither a creole nor a pidgin. It is a Germanic language at its core syntactically, phonologically, and in its vocabulary. It still shares much in common with its past forms (including Old English a.k.a. Anglo-Saxon) and other Germanic languages (Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, etc). Yes, it has many words of French and Latin origin but so do most "real Old World" languages. It has also acquired quite a few other words from various languages as appropriate for any language with an imperial legacy and diverse peoples taking it up.

Now, I know most of you are thinking "why can't every day be 'Draw Mohammed Day'?", but just KNOCK IT OFF. This is why Pakistan can't have nice things.
Between a $1K house that won't stand up to future disasters and a $100K house that won't stand up to future disasters, which would you pick?
