XKCD is great! It's on my list of webcomics I read during slow times at the day job.

Maybe its because I'm so damn sick of hearing people around me speak in foreign languages, but I dont buy the logic in that second one. There are proposals to make the official language of the United States English. The US was founded by English immigrants and their descendants. If this was "The Cherokee nation" I could buy that cartoon. It is not. The United States is a vast land, as well. The Cherokees were not spread from coast to coast, there were hundreds of nations here. They were conquered by America. America was founded by the English. If another country came in here and conquered us, perhaps English would be a silly language to have as a national language.

Bah. I am so sick of hearing Russian all day, I am turning into a Republican or something

*shrugs* I live in a place where you hear other languages constantly. I was standing in line at Walgreens and the cashier was speaking Spanish with a customer, the couple behind me was speaking Chinese with each other, and someone else was speaking English.

I don't see the big deal, really.

An important lesson really (http://xkcd.com/c137.html)

That was beautiful. I should really read this comic more often, Cyanide and Happiness too.

Those were wonderful. Why don't we all go back to music as our Language and consider that we are all on the planet together.

That's what Solresol is all about!

*giggle* Their english-translation spelling of cherokee is way different from the spellings I use but I still understood it. :)

The correct response is: Osigwu. Nina?

I do the calculation of efficiency stuff too. Also how I can do things concurrently to free up more time. I also sometimes calculate the height of objects based on the length of their shadow and the time of day. Like when we were watching the fireworks and I was counting off the time between flash and bang to calculate how far away the shells were bursting.

On GRY:
grep 'gry$' /usr/dict/words
aggry
ahungry
angry
anhungry
gry
hungry
overangry
podagry
puggry
unangry

Interesting... I don't think those are "official" English words, though...
