OzramSpanish is almost universal among native English speakers too ?



How cool would that be if it were true. Sadly, native English speakers are probably among the worst at learning a second language. I think it's polite to try, but lots of people expect the places they visit to speak English.


dare I say it's the same with customs and beliefs =P, though I guess every country has people that wish the world would conform to their way of doing things =(

Thats a bit unfair , most native english speakers know exactly what to say when confronted by a non english speaker whilst in a non english speaking country , the same thing slower and louder



LOL... reminds me of this joke:

What do you call someone who speaks 3 languages?

Trilingual

What do you call someone who speaks 2 languages?

Bilingual

What do you call someone who speaks 1 language?

American


No offense intended, as I am one of those monolingual Americans but see the truth in that. I can get by in French thanks to study in jr high and high school and and have some German as well through college study but I am far from fluent in either. One of my life long regrets is not gaining fluency in another language, especially since I work for an International corporation and most of my European colleagues have fluency in 2 or 3 languages including English.

You have three wives: polygamy;

You have two wives: bigamy;

You have one wife: monotony!

Bigamy is defined as having one wife too many.

Monogamy has the same definition

Bigamy is defined as having one wife too many.



The penalty for bigamy is having two mother-in-laws!

I agree with you ED =P. Besides, from what I can tell, it seems as though the majority (dare I say 99%) of pilots here if not in game as well are male.
