Maybe it would make sense if I was going to spend time in Paris, but for one quick meal? Same thing here. And even if I typed in some script, it wouldn't be something I understood, I'd simply be copying like a monkey, so ... why NOT just download and be done with it?

No Catlady, the point isn't why you shouldn't do it that way; the point was there is nothing inherently wrong with (in this analogy) ordering in French if it makes sense to do so in that setting (or in say Chinese in an authentic Chinese restaurant, etc) and in some circumstances far more natural and intuitive. What I am saying is people that can pop open a window and talk to a computer in its own language are not the odd ones here...
