Well, we know that not *all* people do.  Whether most do or don't is a more complex matter (even if we can agree that anything over 50% qualifies as most).  I do, so I cancel out Charlie (I assume), but Joel lines up with me (I assume).  So far so good.  Now, if Wikipedia is to be trusted, we just have 359,999,997 native speakers left to survey, give or take.
