I wanted a compendium of how

to say this in every language on Earth.

It’s hard to make it out, but the letterhead for this project comprised the name of every nation on Earth in 1988 in the shape of a Mercator Earth map. I created a mailer with a form to fill out and sent it to ministers of culture and education in all 206 countries on the logo. I heard back from hundreds. But the scope of the whole endeavor was beyond me to finish. Stupid me.

Yes, No, Please, Thank You, Hello, Goodbye, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

FIRST QUARTER 1988
