Uhhhh...
North America is a continent.
Central America is a region in a continent. The continent of North America.
Are we all in agreement now?
(And maybe some parts are in South America...I don't think so, but I'm not totally sure.)
You are not going to learn Arabic from software. In the U.S. foreign service's ranking system, they rank lanugages from easiest to learn by a native English speaker -- 1 -- to hardest -- 5. Arabic is one of the few languages that is a five. Not only does it use an entirely different character set (duh...Arabic), but it is a very highly inflicted language. Your subtle body motions and intonations can completely change what you mean.
If you want to learn Arabic, take a class. A computer program will not help you in any way other than maybe memorizing a few phrases and possibly learning the letters.
I don't really know that either has _more_ power, per se. Different power...and some would argue that the government is becoming bigger and taking more control, but it makes sense: issues are becoming more global and less localized, so it is logical for a central power to regulate more of those things. Not to mention that a lot of the issues today are centered around those things of which the fed gov't does have control: Iraq, federal taxes, the overall economy, job creation. Iraq. Iraq. Iraq.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Meaning, everything completely left out in the Constitution. With modern interpretations, that's not much. The federal government has a lot of power.
Well, there was also that Lawrence v. Texas decision a year or so ago...it was only the biggest headline for the next week...
(And states are not supposed to have the most power in the country -- the federal government always trumps the states. Federal laws and the Constitution trump anything the states can come up with.)
Uh, that's like saying that cigarettes kill you, but at the same time they look cool and make you feel better. So that's two things against one. COOL, but you're neglecting the fact that the savings from the reduced power consumption, etc. are not enough to pay for the difference of the cheaper, bulkier one and the most expensive, smaller one...thereby making it a BAD business decision.
Actually, "lingua franca" means literally, "the language of the Franks." It predated modern French, and the language that the "Franks" spoke was a mixture of most every Mediterranean language (including Turkish).
No--they are only required to keep the confidentiality until they believe that somebody is posing a danger to themself or someone else (just like social workers, teachers, etc.). At that point, they are compelled by law to report it.
Of course that's how regular plurals are made. But, like in every other language, there are also irregular plurals, and medium/media just happens to be one of them! Would you tell a French person that every verb needs to be conjugated like -er verbs, and if they want to use irregular verbs, they should find some older language...like Latin? And would you tell the Romans that "to be" should be conjugated like every other verbs, and that they should find some older language...?
The plural of medium is media. "Mediums" is just one of those words we're forced to accept due to mass ignorance (e.g., formulas, personas, platypuses).
DeBeers is a single company run and controlled by Anglo American. A cartel insinuates multiple parties. In the diamond industry, there is only one...whether you want to call it DeBeers or Anglo American, it's all the same. It is a monopoly.

Uh...Mexico is definitely in Central America. Central America is just everything below the United States in North America.

But using Firefox does...that's what grandparent is trying to say.

English well, Old English, which is not at all discernable as English is only about 1000 years old, in the first place.
Double ls on the end of words was also a Germanic/Norman fixture of language.
German influence creeps? English is primarily a Germanic language. There's no creeping to be done...it's been in there for a thousand years.
It should be "UIUC Unveils the World's Most Advanced Buildin," maybe?
...and 4/20.

Yes, according to Merriam-Webster. I guess it depends on who you trust more American Heritage or M-W.

...actually, it's platypi. (pronounced platuh-pee)

And by "hearst" you mean "hearse"?
