So the bigger our hard drives get, the bigger the programs get to fill them...

I had noticed that programs seemed to come with a lot of extraneous 
languages, but I hadn't dug much into the why's and wherefore's.  On 
systems before OSX, I'd be deleting unnecessaries in a heartbeat, but 
I'm not as comfortable with the guts of OSX and tend to be cautious 
about deleting anything.

First thing I used to do with a new OS is go into the Control Panels 
and Extensions and delete anything I wouldn't use.  OSX has all these 
different places where things are, and I don't know what they all 
mean.
So I leave them be.
