Haha. OK. I realize now that I wasn't clear, Maciej. Thank you for responding.
Frankly I didn't give it that much thought! Basically, the thought I had in mind was this... When you select english-only results in google, it gives english-only results. I suppose that I meant during my whole del.icio.us session (front page, search, etc.) I wanted everything displayed in english (even moon tongue english is OK). I suppose the asian, hindi, hebrew, characters are really what throw me off. Not that I mind them!! I simply don't understand them and they are of no value to me (wish they were...) :( Does that make things clearer? Let me know where I missed clarity, or need to clarify a bit more...
