lol, that's true!
but... i think it sucks that so many people who aren't native to english speeking countries know english really well, like your self... and... maybe... 25% of britains population are fluent in another language, and probably 75% of them are from different ethnic backgrounds... *sigh* it's silly... we don't start learning other languages till we're in yr 7.. so... 10? i think that's it... and that's french, and no one ever listenes in french class >.<
o well... hopefully i'll learn languages at some point... but as i struggle with english it's kinda difficult ^^;
but yeah... handy is right, cos that means you can read translation into english and what ever other languages you happen to know XD
