Jeez,

If people spent half as much time learning English as they apparently do learning Leetspeak and "etext", we'd have a country of literates.

Well... I can say the same about Russian language.

PS. What is etext?

I think someone wisely commented that Great Britain and the USA have a great deal in common. Except for language...

Sorry... didn't mean to cause such confusion. i know a number of people who have developed a hatred for use of the work "Kewl" due to it's over-use a decade or so ago, so i decided to try it a different way. :p

Sure makes you appreciate how much time it takes to do even a simple presentation like that one. With the number of that type of thing on the Internet it seems that a great many people have way too much time on their hands.
