Not humans. Indians, I mean. No other race speaks or spells like we do. Take greetings for example.

*Taken from the Internet ____________________ THIS IS WHAT A GUY WROTE TO A SYSTEM ANALYST; Dear Systems Department, I am desperate for some help! I recently upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected child processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
