Chris Lee, your comment shows your ignorance. Do you know what english as a second language means? It means that english may not be one's native language and for your own edification, verbs exist in other languages. Get out of your bubble of ignorance and learn from the world outside your limited reality. The sad fact is that people of your kind are today the most strident and are always ready to give opinions when they should keep quiet and learn.

I usually don't add a comment because of all the sarcastic, rude things people say. I'm not saying you need to be a lemming and flow off to ..wherever ; just treat it like the lighthearted, educational thing it is. I'm saying, don't be so damn mean!
