seanchaidh's list of stupid comments/questions.
How can anyone in this day and age apparently not know that Arabic is a language spoken by millions all across the Middle East and further afield? To the point that when someone asks for the Arabic for a particular word they suggest that the language they really want is Farsi and imply that only archaic versions of Arabic still remain.
Why worry? Arabic is only spoken by approximately 286 million people and is an official language of 25 countries.

Date: 2005-06-22 01:41 am (UTC)I was in my senior psychology class, and there was this rather flighty girl in there. She was as sweet as she could be, but rather clueless on certain things. One day in class, the discussion got around to TV and its influences on society. She didn't realize that "TV" was an abbreviation for television.
