De Garmo writes "A Ukranian hacker known as "MustLive" has announced plans for a Month of Search Engine Bugs project in June 2007. The plan is to shake out cross-site scripting bugs in the most popular search engines (think Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com) and publish details on these flaws. From the article: "[The] purpose of this Month of Bugs is a demonstration of real state with security in search engines, which are the most popular sites in Internet. To let users of search engines and web community as a whole to understand all risks, which search engines bring to them.

    How many foreign languages do you speak flawlessly?

    Aww, shut the fuck up! Give the man a break. I'd be glad to read his broken English if he has something interesting to say, and it seems like he does. Just because he's not a native English speaker doesn't mean that you can't understand what he's trying to say. I'm not a native English speaker myself, but I do my best, and I'm pretty sure he did too.

    Brain surgery? What a comparison!

    You'll have an extremely hard time convincing us Europeans to follow your rule. Lots of people here know several languages and use them all frequently, without knowing them well enough to speak flawlessly. We use foreign languages both for business and for fun. You'll have a very hard time convincing us to stop doing this.

    In my opinion it would be a very boring world if people followed your rule. For example, I couldn't write this post. English isn't my first language, it's not even my second, so who knows what errors might sneak in without my noticing!?

    Maybe I'd better shut up now, in case I'm subjecting you to painful language errors without noticing.
