If you conduct a search on the Web for the number of languages spoken around the world, you’ll see numbers ranging anywhere from 6,000-7,000. I figure I’m doing okay since I can speak English and Spanish, sign the English alphabet, recite the Greek alphabet, and read music. There are roughly over 1.2 billion web sites…

Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:39:00 -0700

On June 13—five and a half weeks ago—Microsoft released a series of buggy patches for Outlook.
