What bugs me is all the Asian and other spam I receive in languages I

Well, there are about 845 million Mandarin Chinese speaking people on
the planet, compared to about 341 million English speaking people.
Hindi and Urdu total about 427 million. Arabic has 422 million. I

become Chinese:

Why wait? Learn Chinese today.


Why bother. I'm old enough it doesn't matter. Today's batch was
mostly from Russia, in Cyrillic.
