      Did you know..?

      That there is a "simple English" Wikipedia? I found it in a list of all the languages Wikipedia is written in. Basically, it's exactly like it sounds. According to the article on itself:

      "Articles in the Simple English Wikipedia use fewer words and easier grammar than the original English Wikipedia. The Simple English Wikipedia is also for people with different needs, such as students, children, adults with learning difficulties and people who are trying to learn English. Other people use the Simple English Wikipedia because its simple language helps them to understand unfamiliar topics or complex ideas."

      Sounds nice, so I went ahead and translated my user page for simplepedia: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Userrofessor_mark

      Interesting Fact:

      There is actually no smiley in my user name.

      Interestingly enough, your profile makes absolutely no sense. I'm not talking about the long words etc. I'm saying that it pretty much isn't english. It's random words cobbled together to sound impressive.

      Still, it's funny.

      That's the point. This way there is no chance of them figuring it out.

      It got deleted by the Wiki staff, check the logs ---> http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index....Professor_mark

      And yeah those simple english topics are pretty funny...

      Haha I could spend all night there...
