"foreign language"

I think if you didn't say such ridiculous things, your _valid_ points
(when you make them) would be taken much much more seriously.

It _is_ of course important that issues like 'colour vs color' be
thought about carefully.  But inflammatory and patently false claims are
 likely to be taken as _trolling_ (deliberately trying to annoy people)
rather than serious commentary.

Knock it off.
