    The fact that Spanish has become a predominantly non-European language just prevents it from playing any significant role on the European continent.

    Yes, it is true.



    Part of them yes, not the majority of them.

    You're reminding me of a thought that occurred to me long time ago as I was gazing at a crowd of pupils in an English grammar school: "Those kids are pale Nordics as well as dark Mediterraneans with...

    This is a very valid comparison. Hundred years ago, rugby was mainly popular in the 3 Home nations (England, Wales, Scotland) + Ireland and France, and the down under countries (Australia, NZ, South...

    Thanks a lot for your answer. You're helping me understanding a lot of things I didn't grasp so far about the U.S. of A. TBH honest I've never been further West than Minneapolis, further North than...
