I think what we need is a Linux distribution that will print all output VERY
SLOWLY AND IN UPPERCASE. Steven, care to step in and address this
shortcoming?
Years ago, when I moved to Germany, all these Germans wanted me to speak
german, even though I knew they could speak english perfectly well if they
tried. They even moved the Z key on the keyboard to where any sensible
person knows the Y belongs. They even had the audacity to complain that the
AMERICAN Standard Code for Information Interchange wasn't good enough
because it didn't support their non-english characters, even though I could
use it to read all the literature in the (english) world with it on a 286.

For anyone willing to at least pick up a dictionary and make SOME effort to
speak the native lingo, a DOS-like shell for Linux can be found at
http://people.cs.uct.ac.za/~mwelz/lsh.html Many, many more can be found at
http://www.tuxfinder.com/thematic/tree.php3?category=16 including a number
that us an ANSI-text-based GUI interface. There are choices. They are all
free. All may contribute.
