You only now noticed aviation weather reports from the U.S. government in a
foreign language!? This isn't the first time U.S. taxpayer money has been
spent on delivering weather reports in anything other than English:

Because lets face it, METAR code is a foreign language which originated
from aliens from a another planet bent on world on domination - and I want
to know when the people of the earth are going to rise up in arms and throw
off the alien oppression so we can read weather reports in our native
languages?

Actually, much of it originated in French. That is how we get BR = "Mist."
