Open Letter to Jeffrey Fries:

Whilst you may be in the USA the rest of us are in the world.
The French Prof. Meyer used is not in any way linguistically complex,
and anybody with half an education would understand the gist of his
message. All of his intended audience will have sufficient
French as a second language if not complete fluency as their first.

: Rude...my butt!

Yes your reaction is indeed exceedingly offensive.

Now that you have informed the world that not only are you totally devoid of
simple manners, and any education in the broad sense of the word, you might
care to take time to reflect on the way in which your reactive postings will
affect the opinion of the world not only of you personally but also
of the Nation of which you are a citizen.
