A bunch of stuff in french

Since this newsgroup is obviously in English, even though it is
international, why don't you have the courtesy of posting in English. You
obviously read English, so please respond in the same language.


just because most people here are from the US, it doesn't give them a
monopoly.
if people from other languages are going out of their way all the while
to read & write english, why do you need to get upset over one single
message in French?

it is not because europeans generally have better education,
especially on the subject in languages, that you should call
it a discourtesy not to make use of that.


I agree that use of a language other than English is not a
discourtesy. I'm sure the poster recognized that his readership would
be dramatically reduced because of his use of French, but that is his
decision to make.

How does one spell "monolingual"?
