Subject:Why should I fill this out? From:Rebecca Carr <rebecca -at- WHITE -dot- SC -dot- TI -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Jan 1998 11:34:19 -0600
I immediately considered the international issue when reading the request
for the questionnaire information. The FIRST thing I did was note the
origin...then I didn't give the "quirky wording" of "I require" a second
thought. Perhaps some of us should "just chill" and not be so quick to
jump on someone. I read a great deal of source from other countries and
can be offended constantly if I choose to be. Persons not familiar with
English are doing the best they can to put the right words together; lets
give them a break!
