Fred,

You are starting to hit a nerve here by saying "Americans are so
ignorant".  I agree with someone who says, "If you can't speak the
language Get Out." but if someone is visiting, isn't there such a thing
as being a GOOD HOST?  I am sure there are businesses around the world
who would be happy to take money from those ignorant English only
speaking people.  I would OF COURSE tolerate someone on Conch-L who has
Engish language difficulties.
