About: we must not be so different (or must we?)

Upon closer examination
of the survey results, I've been
noticing that, although it's almost always possible to
find a french response that is equivelant to a given
english response, or vice versa, the distribution of
the responses is very different. Thus, if the American
responses are: 2 A's, 4 B's, 7 C's, and 2 D's, then it
is unlikely that there will be a french response E that
doesn't translate (almost directly) to A, B, C, or D..
But that the number of A's, B's, etc., will be different.
(For some of the surveys, you have to replace "translate"
with "fall in the same category" to make this work.
But it still seems like this is a valid thing to do..)
