I think this thread has accomplished a lot! It makes me realize that communication is difficult enough when we all speak the same language! Imagine how things get misconstrued when governments try to communicate in different languages! Its funny, "obese" is a word I don't care for! LOL Sorry if my use of "fat" was offensive. It wasn't intended to be!
