I always knew Oliphant was a xenophobe, at least where Asia is concerned.

Apikoros said, <b<@JohnnyDiego‘As they say in Sotho, “Gracias!” ’
Dumela Apikoros, Ooops, Dumelang Apikoros & Johnny!O kae?Ke a leboha for showing me my birth country’s map (it totally surrounds little ol’ Lesotho).Ke tswa South Africa. Born a few miles north of Lesotho.
Actually, seSotho was the one language I had 3 years of and learnt almost nothing. :(Seriously, we had maybe like 5 classes in 3 bloody years (equivalent to 5th to 7th grades). To my eternal regret, back in those days it just wasn’t taken seriously. :pBUT I did learn how to greet, thank, count to ten and comment on the weather. :-| Also, Rabobi! which means webcrawler = Spiderman! Dunno why but they dubbed the cartoon Spiderman to Sesotho and I used to watch it. Anyway. The interesting thing was, in Botswana, they speak Tswana and it is fairly close to Sesotho. Greeting’s the same but thank you / Ke a leboha = Ke a lebocha (soft gutteral on the “cha”. So I impressed my wife on our honeymoon when we visited Gaberone. Alas, we never did get round to driving through Lesotho. Next time, when I show my daughter the ol’ neighbourhood.
As they say in my mother-tongue: “De nada!”
Anyway, although Oliphant is being a tad jingoist today, one of his complaints isn’t far off the mark: “Chinese Pollution study Blocked”jimsizemore1405 about 11 years ago

’Fraid not, it only has 4.3 times your population. And it will be number 1 on every leader board sooner than predicted.
