Does anyone else find it disturbing that the National Weather Service
in the United States is paying out taxpayer money to a government
employee to create a foreign-language web page?

por supuesto pero yo pienso mas gente en estado unidos falta educacion
como otro pieses y lenguas. Esta claro que mas latinos viene aqui y el
mundo es cambiando. No cambio o adjustamente por el individual, el es
muerte en la agua.
Times are changing my friend. I am one of the most adamant in the USA
regarding the use of english as our language but I fear I am ****ing
in the wind. In most of the foreign countries I worked in, I had to
learn at least a modicum of the language to survive. It is indeed
unfortunate that our education system, and by extension, most
Americans, never learn a foreign language well enough to carry on a
simple conversation in anything but english.
To that end, I am making an effort to teach my new son several
languages while he is still in the early stages of speech development
so he'll be able to function in a multi-lingual world.
You should have seen me raising hell in a post office in CA where all
the signs were in spanish. I made enough of a stink that all the signs
were duplicated in english by the end of the week.
I guess it beats being in arabic......or Finnish? ggg
