yup, but money makes the world go around, companies and most people dont do anything unless it makes them money...so if there isnt any money in learning or teaching something, it doesnt usually get taught.

I can speak, write, and read English. I can understand and read 12 year old girl (Kind of handy since my neighbor wants me to translate his daughter's email, she got in trouble and has to clear things with the parents first.)
