>>Regarding languages; about 4 months ago I started learning French. I love learning it but it is very complicated; the spelling of the words has very little to do with how you pronounce them. So I say, wouldn't the world be better off if everybody spoke English?!

>Congratulations for learning French!
>If you favor a language where pronunciation is the same as spelling, Italian is your friend!
Thank you, Thierry. During the past 4 months or so, during driving, I have been listening
only to the French learning CDs; no music, no talk shows. When I am running on the treadmill I watch French In Action shows on my iPhone. And I love learning French.
When I go to France next time I will ask you to ask all French people to speak slower :).
Even though I don't know Italian; I agree with you.
