>Well, I was puzzled, but not alienated, by "monde". My first thought it was the French word for world. Then I finally remembered mondegreen. And yep, all visitors/residents from outside the U.S. are "aliens", to some officials, unless they obtain citizenship, as far as I know.

My wife is an attorney who has filed a class action law suit to allow all of the aliens in the US to move to a special cantonment in the United States where they can practice free love. Truly she is suing for alien nation of affection.
