Default Iowa Aviation Weather...en Espanol

Interesting point. Is there evidence to support the statement that
those here who only speak Spanish can't read that language?

This has gone too far. Our language is English learn it or leave.


It is interesting to note that, statistically, of all the Spanish-speaking
people who _cannot_ read and write English in the U.S., most are also
illiterate in Spanish as well. So putting a Web page in Spanish accomplishes
nothing at all--anyone literate in Spanish in the U.S. is also likely to be
literate in English, and any Spanish-speaking person who can't read English
probably can't read Spanish, either.
