I used to think that when you got a foreign language option for something, like if a list of instructions were written in English, French, Polish, and German, for instance, then the foreign ones besides English were just there randomly, rather than being languages that people would be speaking if they were using the product!
I used to think Jane Austen was related to the Bronte sisters, maybe like their cousin or step/half-sister.
