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)"

Isn't it so obvious that it hits you?  If there are signs in other countries that aren't in there native language and they manage to understand them, is it possible that someone that doesn't speak English can still understand the meaning of a sign?  Especially when it has been explained to them in their native language?  Sorry, I just don't think that people as a whole are THAT stupid.
