You'd best do a Rip Van Winkle, Larry. We'll wake you up in 20 years,
and
things will look much better. g

I'd best study up on my foreign languages before I nod. I'd hate to
wake up and not know the language of my country. So, do you think it
would be better to learn Cantonese or Mandarin?

Zai jian.

Spanish.

No way, José. The Chiwanese will inherit the Earth. The proof is
that all the sci-fi movies are made to that effect.

Why do you say Spanish? Because they're the second fastest growing
segment of our world's population? It's been ages since I read
anything on that, though. Got cites handy?

Not the world. The US. The Census department says that the Hispanic
population in this country will increase from 12.6% of the population in
2000 to 24.4% in 2050. Their numbers are projected to grow from 35.6 million
to 102.6 million, an increase of 188 percent.
