Oy Alexis– thanks for blowing my cover (I use a Gmail account) !! :-)

That Google may be primarily Anglophone is something I hadn't considered
(has the mainstream press either?)..

This may sound like a stupid question, but is the Internet more than 50%
English right now? 60%? 30? How would one find out such a thing?

I remember how several (American) media pundits circa Y2K told us that by
2007 Mandarin Chinese would become the language of the majority of web
sites… what does that prediction mean now, at the New Year?
