I was recently in Vancouver and decided to learn Chinese, so I could
understand the check-outs at McDonalds.
My next move is to learn Indian, so I can understand my doctors - and the
person who answers the phone when I have a warranty problem.
Yep, by the time you read this, you too will be able to understand the
subject line, *"TENJOOBERRYMUDS".
With a little patience, you 'll be able to fit right in.
