I'm sorry but you understand wrongly. This is just nonsense.

The major source of difficulties of this nature in Britain arise
between American English and English as she is spoken in England.

'Fag' means 'cigarette', for example, and table(**) means "bring
to the table" NOT  "take off the table".



But you are directing the discussion away from the point at issue.

An international 'Internet Government', such as ICANN /must/
operate multi-lingually. To do otherwise is cultural imperialism.
