    Good post on the subject. I'd agree it sounds pretty familiar. And boy, will that be one huge mess if the bubble bursts. I guess we can still learn Mandarin until that happens, right?

    I do hope you're in jest, rather than someone who didn't bother reading the thread and/or woefully uniformed on both subjects.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Or troll?

    For me, I'd love to participate in this thread, but there's WAY too many pages for me to go back through. Sigh.

    You'd hope so, though of late I've been surprised at how many "trolls" turned out to be in earnest and that's scary. :eek::D

    Would prefer to know some spanish, more beneficial I think.
    Although some handy mandrin or cantonese phrases would be handy. Some of my chinese mates have tried teaching me some basic phrases in the past, in one ear out the other though :(

    Or 5 pages. 2s and 5s do look kind of similar, I suppose.

    Hmm. It's nearly like we have different settings on our accounts. (Having said that, I didn't realise you could change amount of posts per page. Thanks!).
