This is because GOOGLE ROCKS. I was going through the installer on my college computing account, thinking that it'd fail like all other installs do (ones that want write access to C:\program files). But it worked flawlessly! Thank you Google, for letting me escape IE on my school network.
US vs Rest of the world?Of course, the number of US speakers of English outnumber the all those in the Rest-of-the-world combined, but why count _people_ when you can count _countries_? Right?"Rest of the world" is also a bit inaccurate. Perhaps you mean "Rest of the world that lives in native English countries"? Having taught English internationally for a number of years, I have seen non-English-speaking countries standardizing (z) on US English in their schools. I wouldn't be at all surprised if non-native speakers of English _also_ outnumbered your "Rest of the world" group.Making the "Rest of the world" a very small minority indeed.And even then, I know that Canadian spellings often match up with their southern neighbors rather than those across the pond. Is the "Rest of the world" as big as you think it is?(Also, UK still uses Imperial [go for a drive and see], blah blah pedant pedant. Of course, I believe both right-by-majority arguments are flawed.)

"Was it something we said?"- No, don't take it that way, it was a rough start at first, and I think I need a fresh start.. we could both use one.

Google is funny but Google search is not... Try Wolfram Alpha instead. <a class="user" href="http://www.villadeloscaballeros.com/">http://www.villadeloscaballeros.com/</a>
