    ER.. Yes. How many people in the world speak English? Answer: Most. Whereas Arabic is spoken only in North Africa and the ME. In terms of absolute numbers, English is the most spoken language in the world. (Granted, not as a mother tongue, but in terms of number of individuals who can speak English to some extent).

      I'll play, which two dots. Also, if you were an actual Arab, you'd know why teh spelling has two variations.

        I would certainly agree that it would be no more than 100% and probably not much less.

          It's because of the . (dot) you put in. As the rules of Arabic are differ from English concerning punctuation, it mess up Google's mind...

          I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

            My suspicion has been aroused, the MO looks about right. I've done this each time I think he's come back , but this is the first time it has been noticed.

                      And the "best answer" is wrong. Last name is not always based on father's family name. Why should a single mother choose to name her child after someone else's family? This also completely fails to take into account such customs as the Icelandic habit of using patronymic or matronymic naming - so that the last name takes the first name of the parent and adds Son or Dottir to become the new last name.

                            More like 15-20%, atcherley -- the bulk of them in the earlier stages of ESL. More people speak Mandarin (and a lot more people read Chinese than English).

                              Too easy Try this: Password must be longer than the equivalent base of the prime number based letter of your name in Cantonese writing. Must have at least one word from elvish, Mando'a, Twi'leki, Jawaese, Sullustese and Ewokese. Numbers must be used that have the same value when converting from binary to decimal being equal to half the value than from Hexadecimal to Octal. At least 3 character must be glyph (any). Lastly, only blood of a virgin born on the 13th July of a prime year before 1920 with both parents living accepted Wish I could give you example but CP might clone the blood sample I got. :suss:

                                What about the Spanish [come in Joan we need you] where they take both parents' patronymic [new word of the day] names.

                                [citation needed][^]:

                                For example, if a man named Eduardo Fernández Garrido marries a woman named María Dolores Martínez Ruiz and have a child named José, there are several legal options, but their child would most usually be known as José Fernández Martínez.

                                And Magyar names are reversed family name then given name; hence Nagy Vilmos and not Vilmos Nagy. Or Norfolk? They only have three family names in the whole county [and two of them are imports].

                                  Looks like "Jako P Jako" to me, so I vote for "Jackie". Every character is totally alien to me. I kinda like that.

                                          That explains why I always assumed that "Nagy" was a description of your behaviour! :laugh:

                                          The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

                                          Nagy can be translated as great, big, large, tall, high, etc, etc, etc.
