    rest of the English-speaking world

    Well, the rest of the "English Speaking World" has English as it's first language to the tune of about 99M people, compared to the US 234M.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I never said he was deranged, but to say his first language is English is a bit much. How many more of the 234 million people you quoted would fall into the same category?

      I was only joking

          Actually English isn't my first language either. Really.

            You grew up in a house that didn't speak English as first language?

                The word "systemic bias" is pretty much a giveaway for the rest. It suggests a whole set of beliefs I do not share.
