I would like to see native Americans posting in any language but English. That would be a joke as 99% don't even speak any second language. Let's start posting in French or German.
Where did you get your facts? Let's not and say we did.

“To prosper economically and to improve relations with other countries,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan declared in 2010, “Americans need to read, speak and understand other languages.” Unfortunately, Duncan pointed out, only 18% of Americans report speaking a language other than English, while 53% of Europeans (and increasing numbers in other parts of the world) can converse in a second language.
Within this subset of multilinguals who are well-versed in a non-English language, 89% acquired these skills in the childhood home, compared with 7% citing school as their main setting for language acquisition.
Definitely not.I say sj1900 and schweiz are the same person LOL
I hope the mods forgive the political reference, but the parallel is unmistakable:The acolytes are losing their collective shit here. This CSEtrader and the rest of the group sound like cultists. Just ignore the proof and all of the mutlinick BS. She/he was "nice."
Brooks wrote a 1,680-page trilogy on the subject.Holy cow....what happened to brevity and clarity.
i was messing with himDefinitely
Probably another more aggressive extroverted sociopath will confront those types. You know, it takes one to know one. They either conspire together or the complete opposite...take each other down...in my opinion. This is just a simple answer...there's more to it, of course. Let me know if I didn't understand your question properly.
Something else...these introverted types don't feel comfortable being aggressive in real life, but when it comes to the good internet, they feed off of any alter ego they can create...many personas if they can, like someone mentioned on another post.
only 18% of Americans report speaking a language other than English, and from these 18%, 89% acquired these skills in the childhood home. So at home they don't speak english. Which results in 89% of 18% that speak a second language, or 16% of the 18% are not real Americans (mexican, puerto rican...). So the result is 98% don't speak a second language. And then we do not mention the level of English...Where's the 99% number?
