English Content, Global Awareness
Surprising absolutely no one, the vast majority of readers of this blog use browsers set as using English as the primary language. In fact, 95% of the readers of this blog use English thusly.
What was surprising were some of the other languages that have logged in at GM'S Corner. The other 5% are the following languages. German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Thai, Danish, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish, Hungarian, Finnish and initially the most surprising of all, Farsi. But on reflection I shouldn't have been surprised. There is a growing freedom movement in Iran and I support that 100%.
So there you have it, GM's Corner goes Global!!!!

Whoever programmed it must live in India or Brooklyn, because it doesn't recognize half of what I say. Now, to make it work I have to talk like a robot, which may be another language that will be added to the list of browser languages going to this site. Y'all have a good day.
