Dingbats... you find them everywhere.

Last night I was in Coles Supermarket which is a big chain of supermarkets that opens till 12am in Australia. I was in the noodles, imported/asian food aisle and overheard this conversation by two teenage girls behind me:

Teen 1: "Are yer sure yer got the right one?"
Dingbat: "I don't know, it's written in ASIAN!"

Me: What a couple of dingbats! Geez!

Someone ought to educate them that Asian is native or inhabitant of Asia or a term referring to a characteristic of Asia. Asian itself is not language!!!
