Oh, okay. 9 10Lisa! said:I don't find any dirty thing about this test! Perhaps dirty means wrong here.
Rach3 said:As is typical, the test is plain wrong. It marked me down for saying Arabic was the least spoken language (it thinks its Hindi); apparently the testmaker didn't bother to check his facts.
To be bitterly cynical, anyone who puts any value on this kind of test deserves to spend their life worrying about a random number.
What the hell, I thought it was Chinese.Rach3 said:As is typical, the test is plain wrong. It marked me down for saying Arabic was the least spoken language (it thinks its Hindi); apparently the testmaker didn't bother to check his facts.

I also thought that meant official language!Rach3 said:The test thinks it's Hindi. It's not, it's Arabic, by a factor of 4. I suspect the author might be thinking that "widely spoken" means "is official language of the most countries". If so, he's using a truly useless metric and being asinine about it.

I would have to say yes.Lisa! said:Am I missing something here? As far as I know Bush's been president since 1998. So he served in 20, eh?

800 million around the world, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi. No point in restricting Hindi-speakers to India, anymore than Spanish-speakers to Spain, or English-Speakers to the UK.NateTG said:I get:
Chinese ~ 1,000 million
Hindi ~ 400 million
English ~ 300 million
Arabic ~ 200 million
Which certainly isn't a factor of 4.
