Re: Go home Yanks

"Too many Yanks seem to think that because they are monolingual, everyone else should be too."

Oddly, large swathes of the US are bi-lingual in English and Spanish, they have Spanish-only radio and TV channels yet they still can't seem to get their heads around the fact other countries might not speak English.

It's pretty recent history when there were large French and German speaking areas in the US too, possibly still are some smaller areas in some regions. Then of course there are all the native American languages too.
