Hoi,
I speak English. Typically when I need to look something up I look it up on
the English language Wikipedia.. The languages that I personally speak are
all not in danger of dying. (check out my babel templates for that). I
assume that you think I am anti American.. why would I ? What good does it
do me ?
We do eat hamburgers in the Netherlands and several SUV's are parked in the
street below my apartment.. There is imho no pressing need to invest in any
of the languages that I speak and write.
PS I have no need to be "cool" I have passed the age where it is important
to me. I prefer to do the things that I do and do them well.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
Yes yes, silly english speakers! It's all their fault! Silly
foundation for catering to their overwhelmingly largest user base.
You're not cool unless you speak a developing/dying/niche language!
Honestly Gerard, it would be nice to mask the anti-americanism a
little better. Nobody's talking about SUV's, hamburgers, or education.
Except you. Wonder why that is?

So they need to drive a SUV, eat
hamburgers and speak English, we call that education. We call that
progress.
We call that the Wikimedia Foundation fulfilling its purpose....
