English is not the national language of the USA. The US does not have an official language. This is why Spanish is used for instruction in some parts of Southern California. However, the state figures it doesn't feel like funding it so the program is generally a failure. A lot of problems are caused, however, because employers cannot discriminate on ability to speak a certain language over another, or rather inability. The numerous workarounds are horrid.At 12:43 PM -0600 12/12/02, Carlson wrote:Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this list may have originated on the University of Waterloo server, here in Canada. And then was subsequently moved. If that is in fact the case, then the list itself is "foreign."I stand corrected, and should have said non-English rather than foreign. The predominate language in Waterloo is still English (even though we are a bilingual country officially). Of course, that would bring up whether US nationals speak English! <grin>
