I think it all comes back to the fact that the majority of people in this world DO NOT READ. That's why you get people pestering you no matter what your status message says. That's why I'd get stuff like "aimes-tu le cybersex?" from strangers on ICQ even after I put "JE NE PARLE PAS FRANCAIS!!!!" in my profile. It's like it's too much effort for people to try and read a few lousy words! >_<

The other day I had to put my bike on the rack attatched to the front of the city bus. I followed the posted directions, and then when I got on the bus, the driver said "you know, I think you're the first person I've ever seen try to actually read that thing." And I can't say that I was particularly surprised at that. ;ppppp

hahah... no kidding.

Here's some logic for you:

If you write a note in your profile saying that you don't speak French, and you write the fricken note IN FRENCH, people will not believe you.
