I was envisioning a situation where you have a group that all speaks the
same language being turned into a group that now speaks 50 different
languages.  (sort of a modern Tower of Babal scenario).  BTW, was there
supposed to be a :-) after the second sentence?

I assume the :-) symbol goes after both of these statements.  If not,
would you please explain what you are talking about in the second?
(honest question on my part).

In answer to your question, it was propsed as an example by the original
poster.  Point taken on you third sentence.  I should have used Territory.
Sorry!  But as for your fourth sentence, are we assuming a missing :-)
again?  The sympathy was genuine, even if it failed to seem so in print.
