Heh... reminds me of a fairly-recent story in which a Japanese automaker
(Toyota, I think) pulled out of plans to locate a plant in Mississippi and
place it in Canada, instead. The reason? Several other makers (I think one was
Honda) warned them that the workforce there was so badly-educated, they had had
to translate much of their training manuals into pictorials.

I *wish* I were kidding.

OK. That place gets added to the list of sights to see. Anything that rates
that kind of description has to be experienced first-hand.
