I've copied this article from en-wiki, as time permits I'll try to clean up the language to bring it up to simple english standards. Triona 18:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote on your talk page, starting anew (from scratch) will proably be faster than simplifying 50k text. -- Eptalon 20:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like how you said that the word "retarded" is still used in the USA. You make it sound like the US is a rude and relentless country, and you make it sound like the United States uses the word "retarded" medically. I am offended by this, and I also must point out how very wrong you are. The word "Down Syndrome" is the medical term used in the United States, and it is a very derrogetory thing to say here as well. It is very rude, and people don't use it unless they are attempting to insult someone, which is the case in any other english speaking country. Please think and look things up before you assume.
