The EPA estimates that one-third of U.S. schools have buildings in need of extensive repair or replacement. If your child's school was built before the 1980s it might contain asbestos in fireproofing, insulation, adhesives, cement or asbestos tile. Teachers and students should take care not to disturb any asbestos; exposure to asbestos fibers can result in mesothelioma, asbestosis and other lung diseases.

I think it’s tongue-in-cheek . . . . . isn’t it?
No, I don’t think it’s tongue-in-cheek.
It’s simply a pathetic, content-challenged site.
May I ask to what site you are referring to Robert?

When I write emails in foreign languages, I often Google phrases if I’m not sure what I’m writing is natural. The results generally point me in the right direction.
I stopped reading when I got to “asterix”. Of course, since Google probably told him that “asterix” was more popular than “asterisk”, that’s what he decided was correct.
GoogleMaster, 30 seconds of research before you post something like that would help raise the level of this discussion.
Asterix: 9.470,000 hits
Asterisk: 18,000,000 hits.
Anyway, that methodology is not being suggested.
