My point is that TV news caters to the lowest common denominator of brains so they aren't going to tell everyone about a country they can't locate on a map. That is of course, unless, there are "terrorists" there, or Israel is involved.

I didn't recognize any of the buttons either. Personally, it matters to me if a button is readable and doesn't look like absolute garbage. Telling me I'm not an internet geek just because I didn't remember the buttons? THE NERVE!

"Can a 32-bit OS machine use up all 8GB RAM + 20GB page file?" One of my submission titles was changed to the above. I cried for days after.

Thank you sir, this is exactly my point. The study used the vague undefined term 'sounding black' and it could have meant anything.

A lot of Ebonics is slang. Is this really about sounding black, or is it just about sounding unprofessional? What if I went to a job interview and said "dude" and "bro" every other word (lets assume I'm not interviewing at a startup)? Infot
