The Rosetta Whiteboard

This whiteboard is hanging very close to my office. It used to be mostly blank (except for the RF Group title, which is the group behind this column) for a long time, until someone wrote "Hello" on it. It then quickly evolved as people added their language of choice to it, including some very clever entries such as Vulcan and C++ (but no Klingon!).

There are other not so clever entries… such as "Mexican" and "Real Mexican". I don’t know who the comedic genius that wrote those is (not me) but I have a pretty good idea of whom it may have been.

Adiós.
