You could probably list it as some sort of volunteer experience if you word it nicely enough.

Pretty sure Marlowe said it counts towards volunteer hours.

Yes, because that's a good criterion of demarcation...

Quote:

I don't think that Indians nor Pakistanis speak 'erdu', first of all. Second, linguistic arguments only make the very little sense that they can possibly make when you refer to mother-tongue. Assuming you meant 'Urdu', while the majority of Pakistanis speak it, it's not the mother-tongue of most. The majority of Indians don't even speak Urdu (there is a significant portion that speaks Hindi, but still - the vast majority don't speak it as their mother tongue). In any case, it's not remotely convincing as an argument.
To illustrate, let's extend your logic, shall we? Since French is an official language of Canada & Rwanda, we can apply your rule of inference to conclude from an ethnicity-as-nationality standpoint (the least sophisticated demarcation, I believe - unfortunate that you didn't develop it much more) that Canadians and Rwandans are, in fact, ethno-culturally identical.

EDIT: I suppose you'll counter with "all those brown-people languages sound the same to me...so they're the same"

wow, your naive if you think any of Egypt's policies towards Israel will change. Egypts focus will be on its own government and its own people.

He finally took my advice and updated the year of grad on his facebook.
Maybe there's hope....but I doubt anyone has the patience to deal with him.
