If you explained it before, well, I must've missed it. I'm sorry about that, but do appreciate you taking the time to type it out again (or copying / pasting it.)

As for Mexico region carts, I'd rather you NOT TELL ME ABOUT THEM, THANK YOU. I get NERD RAGE attacks whenever I see the hideous monstrosities that the so-called "translators" hired out by these companies shat out of their bungholes. They're like the unholy spawn of Engrish, Spanglish, and Esperanto rolled up in one. They make Bumblebee Man from The Simpsons sound NORMAL!

ETA: Apparently, the Firefox spellchecker recognizes "Spanglish" as a valid word, but it doesn't recognize "Engrish" as such. WTF.

ETETA: And of course I'm grateful if you (or someone else) eventually dump the Mexico / Latin America carts. Just don't expect me to be very happy about the results!
