| Message | We agree with the Normands. Education in rural areas is vastly different from inner city schooling, and it is mandatory that we treat the schools as such. Local governments are better equipped for this. The best the national government can do is a band-aid solution. |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
