How'd they get the rights to it? I don't remember selling them.

It's not the 'Span' part that'll trip you up, it's It's the "glish" part!

Besides, How long do you think Spanish will remain OpenSource?

You could probably pick up "French" cheap at ebay.FR.
You can never buy "French." France is a socialist country they will give it to you if you need it, or for a small donation the next election.

You know, it just occured to me. . .

With Amazon owning English anything you said would take 8 - 10 days to be heard, but with Prime membership would be heard in 2 days.

BUT If Google owned English, you could expect every declaration of love to come with an advertisement for Trojan condoms.

BUT if Microsoft owned English, we would all be talking out our asses, and it would be renamed Eng8. This in itself isn't a bad thing, a few might even prefer it. Members of Congress quickly come to mind. However since our asses aren't connected to our lungs, the demand for cruciferous vegetables would go way up and thereby improve the farm economy.

Nah, BP already applied for the patent for a device that harnesses the energy produced by cruciferous vegetables as they move through a warm-blooded carbon-based unit's intestinal tract (think canines!). They call it green energy!

Well, the French are getting carbon credits for reducing cow farts, since efforts to harness such energy apparently went nowhere and methane is a big problem.

No, I'm not posting a link. I want all of you to Google (or Bing, or whatever) "French cow farts" as my contribution to the tracking of trending search terms.
