Only by people who somehow think this is new and did not apply to the Germans who came here in the 1700's; or the Italians, Polish, Norwegians, Orientals or any other large group of immigrants to America at any time in our history. There where communities in Texas that German was the standard language for decades into the twentieth century. Same with Scandinavian settled communities in the Great Lakes region. It is not the first generation that learns the language by and large. It is the second that is bilingual and the third is mostly English. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292052 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
