Me not understand. Sorry. :)
What do puns have to do with Klingon grammar, or Leave It to Beaver? I'm sure most
of us don't know about that show (I didn't 'til this summer, when I as on
vacation in Chicago (Illinois, U.S.); I never heard of it. (But I don't watch
TV.)
I think Adam Walker ought to take a look at:
http://www.krysstal.com/worldww.html ; it teaches how to be more
international-friendly on the Web... After all, that's what it is! :)
