If you could speak another language, what would it be?

Americans?  Are you saying there are people out there who are not on board with this?

it's very troubling, isn't it?

Yes and no.  I definitely believe in a North versus South America distinction, but I cannot approve of calling Europe a continent separate from Asia.  Call me a hypocrite, but we worked awfully damn hard on that canal to let it amount to nothing.

that's one that gets me too.  here's another thing:  some people claim australia is an island, not a continent.

Indian, so I could speak to the native peoples of two continents.

india is a subcontinent.  also, americans consider north and south america to be two separate continents.

So you're saying three continents?

Bonus.

[Jeffy]

Latin

You must really be huge into identifying flowers and crap.

If you know latin, you know so much about many other languages, since it is the root of most western languages.

And I can read stuff like E Pluribus Unum.

Indian.  It would make calling tech support so much easier. and no WildcatNkilt, I'm not stereotyping, just speaking from experience.

Haha.  True story.

Watched a 60 Minutes clip one time of a bunch of Indian people trying to perfect their English.  Cracked my crap up.  Thats a pimp job for them over there though.

Can you imagine the look on tech supports face when you start asking them questions in perfect Indian?

The clip also said that they have a "work name."  So "Sarah" from AT&T might actually be Ankita or Amrusha.

Our Indian call center people are amazing.  Super polite and get crap done.  No complaining or giving me the business.  Always ask if it would be ok to put me on hold and then apologize when they come back 10 seconds later.  I want to hi-five them every time I have an issue and they rough ridin' nail it.
