Some think that only money talks. Not true.  Our global community is far
beyond that concept now. We are learning to care.
A Vietnamese or a mandarin does not say please and an American Piute or a
Mongolian say only thankyou with gestures or grunts.
Northern Hispanics love to say por favor and gracias as my Arizonans live on
thank you and "please Mam" and "howdy".  With the upright English it is a
broad tip of hat and with India a rolling of a hand.
Useage of language is everyones' right. Written, spoken or internet we are
learning that victors right not just more rich.
