OK, in your original email you had a list of statements. One of which was:
"We print DMV manuals in 27 languages.
We print Stop signs in English"
to which I replied:
"So? I know of at least one other non-English speaking country that prints
its stop signs in English. (The country in question is Germany)"
to which you replied:
"No Comprende' Senior..." <pedant>Which is incorrect Spanish</pedant>
to which I replied:
"Why not?"
to which your final reply came:
"Because you can't type in octagonal red letters, I dunno"
>>>>>>>Russ, you left out Jeme's octagonal red sign excuse for why a
monoculture isn't a good idea.
I point out the futility of trying to convince me otherwise, by saying no
comprende, because, well.. you oughta be able to connect the dots from that
one sentence by itself without further explanation.
For the record, I know two young ladies who attended a class taught in all
Spanish in which they were the only two English-speaking girls in the class.
They didn't learn a thing.
The illegal immigrant's children benefitted from their illegal activities by
being rewarded with us adapting to their needs, coddling the criminals by
giving them a free education in their native tongues, as well as free
medical and welfare checks.
And those checks are backed with nothing, no fish.
Connect the dots.
