It's called Google. Now stop spamming, if you please. This is not the forum to ask that question.

And besides, DI's comment was merely in jest. :roll:

Hahaa, since I love learning about languages and cultures, I would really love to be involved in a Foreign Exchange Program, but have yet to find one that I could participate in, while not completely destroying my family's money situation even more. Dx
So yeah, of course I'm completely for them. :)

So long as they don't talk in their funny little language, desecrate our homes and schools through practice of some non-Christian deviant religion, damage our patriotic values by supporting a foreign team in any sport while over here, or use their black magic to poison our wells.

But an exchange? Why would anyone want to leave Britain, even for a short period?

Anyone who tried that needs a padded cell, not a plane ticket.
