Dear Google ()

Just because I'm in Japan doesn't mean I suddenly know how to read Japanese.

It's a bit annoying how you can always switch to a language-specific Google by appending the appropriate ccTLD, but how do you go about specifically doing the American version? (okay actually it turns out that google.us always works, and surprisingly isn't squatted on by some sort of social networking outfit or something. I'll have to remember that.)

TOR also confuses it something awful, but the words "asymptotically correct" come to mind.

It is even better when you're using satellite net--I'm in Tanzania and google expects me to know Hebrew script. When you search using Firefox for the first time until switched everything is Left-To-Right and the English results are right justified. Top bars of Blogspot blogs too.
