I see no evidence that anyone other than you actually calls it the "Rosette Stone." A case could be made, I suppose, that the PROPER name is the "Raschid Stone." But that sounds flamingly homosexual compared to the "Rosetta Stone." Sorry. A much better explanation is that you're just an idiot.[/quote]
