You can with Italian too and yet an Italian word got that one kid.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

because some people are seeing Dominionism wherever there is Christianity
I don't really like using the term Dominionists because I think it just gets confusing. My concern is the political power of the religious right although really the concern isn't so much for the religious agenda as it is for the pro-corporate agenda that is riding it. I do worry about attacks on contraception, sexual education, science education, gay rights, and censorship but I don't think that the religious right has been all that successful in those areas. What they have done is help elect people who have gotten us into a unnecessary war, ballooned the deficit, weakened environmental laws, expanded executive power to crazy levels, and generally set the country back IMO.
I think partly the power of the religious right is also a perception issue. If you support helping the disadvantaged, not bombing people if we don't have to, or protecting the environment for the next generation from religious convictions then you are labeled as liberal as opposed to the religious left.

That kid's obviously a loser, then. JUST KIDDING! I didn't see that. Italian seems a little more complicated, though.

Well, in theory, they will have studied the basic phonetics of many languages.

Sure, she's got a cool name -- but isn't that yet ANOTHER French-derived word?

Okay, I took French until Grade 10 and unless she's in private school or AP classes, those French classes aren't helping much at this point. I guess with word roots, but still.

But Sue, I'm sure she's studying French-for-Spelling-Bees, too. I mean, these kids aren't just using knowledge they've picked up in school.
