My poor friend, I only "show" accuracy in quoting my
source. The "lack of understanding" reproach must be addressed
to that source:

||Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, International Data Base.
||Updated 2-28-96

Please write to them and teach them how to publish
statistics Tarara-wise.

[Sorry: I had no time to read Mr Tarara's further - no doubt
interesting - remarks...]
