Ha!  Yes, I was trying to placate others with that comment.
I certainly am not a big advocate of using more images - 
especially inappropriate ones.

I still think that for some languages, an appropriate flag
could be determined.  The only languages I've studied
(English, French, Spanish) seem to map cleanly to countries
of origin.  (I'm now waiting for someone to give me a great
story of how French really originated in ...)

Being in California these days, I'm all too aware of that.

Thank you for your thoughtful efforts on this project.
