I agree: we need an official language or languages if for no other reason that standardization of communication. Think of how much it costs to put government documents in multiple languages! Or to conduct business in multiple languages. This is why english is the official language of aviation: you want to work in civil aviation, you gotta know english. And there is even a way eliminating the dialects by creating a standard called "simplified english". On a federal level we could pick 1, 2, or even 3 languages but that's it. There's no justification for the cost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:233590 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
