I was just shown this link today, and I thought I’d share it
with you guys. With the holidays just around the corner, let’s not forget the soldiers and sailors stationed
overseas. You can go to http://www.letssaythanks.com and choose from a gallery of postcards that were
designed by American schoolchildren. Once you choose a message to send along with it (or create your own), Xerox
will print the postcard out and send it to a soldier currently serving in Iraq. It’s totally free, and the
hardest part for me was figuring out what to say. (If you choose a custom message, you’re limited to only about
475 characters, and I had so much I wanted to say…)
Please share this link with your friends and family
as well - it would be great if every single soldier over there received one of these postcards.

Wow – that is wonderful. I feel like participating in just reading your post…
But
what to say? I believe that my message would probably consist of a rather short novel by the time I finished. It
is, indeed, a wonderful idea, though, and I would love to send our hard-working soldiers and sailors a postcard
detailing my thanks for their services.
Thank you for the link, KE. I’m considering sending one…
here’s what i put :
merci
당신을
감사하십시오
obrigada
благодарю Вас
danke
gracias
grazie
谢谢
ありがとう
in other words …
thank you
interesting huh ?
they’re all the different ways on how to say
thank you .
Is it like a different language that couldn’t show up on here or something?
that’s weird , because i can
see it fine . maybe it’s ur computer . 
nope, all I see are a bunch of boxes and symbols.
oh ! that’s because they are in japanese , chinese , korean , and other languages that don’t
use our usual alphabet .
I know what
Japanese and Chinese look like. They just didn’t show on here.
well , then , i don’t know .
All I see is this:
merci
당신을
감사하십시오
obrigada
благодарю Вас

Computer geek, stepping in.
gottalovepixar,
you have the language packages installed on your computer. As does this computer, actually, for I can see it.
However, if I went back to my house, my own computer does not have the language packages installed. So instead
of the Asian characters, I’d see either question marks or little square boxes, because that’s what the computer
puts in there when it doesn’t know what else to do. And it’s seeing ASCII codes it doesn’t
recognise.
Wouldn’t it be nice if software were completely standard? Sigh. I can’t stand computers
sometimes. Even though I majored in them.

gottalovepixar - Well, I can see the letters/words just fine. Quite a creative
idea, actually.
DWH - Computers are wack – I love them, but they can
drive you up the wall sometimes. 
I see. I guess I don’t have the language
packs in my computer.
