    As an aside, it is funny (in both senses of the word) how the US has twice as many votes as the UK.

    We have to learn foreign languages in both highschool and college so yea. Most Americans speak German, Spanish or French. Everyone I know in my age group does. The only people that don't are burnouts who drop out or go to delinquent schools.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    If you work in the USA you at least can hold down a simple conversation in Spanish . Most companies require it if you interact with customers. People have weird stereotypes about America, foreign languages have been apart of high school curriculum for over 40 years now. And as for college it's been a requirement for longer than that. The only way you're getting out of it is not going to school or taking sign language.

    Well quite. My impression is that US cities often have more multilingual signs, menus, info etc than British cities do.
