Made the mistake of getting up as I was having trouble getting to sleep and checking my email. Frankly, this one might work for [livejournal.com profile] 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.
