Excellent project and Cindy's plans to expand the languages covered is also great news! Please, please let me know when Italian is available and I'll be signing up. Ciao!
I would be very careful to ascribe coming 22nd in the Newsweek Green Rankings as worthy of congratulation in a world dominated by mediocre candidates.
I challenge McD's to become a real leader in the fast food sector, to stop waffling about their C…
This phrase appears a bit cryptic but once the meaning is explained it is easy to get your head around and then it might make you think a little deeper.
