Sue,
You sound like the people running the state I live in
(CA). To the best of my knowledge all Microsoft exams are
written in english. Many before this guy have managed to
pass. He hates english so Microsoft should write the test
in Chinese just for him. I think it's the other way
around. If he wants to take the exams, then become
proficient in English. Hundreds of thousands of IT jobs
have gone (or are on their way) offshore and now you want
to make sure we make it easier for them to do their jobs
so that the corporations don't have to bring them back
home? I know this isn't his fault, but nonetheless I'm
baffled!?!
