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?

Yes,
This is the last straw. I am writing my congress person.
This has gone too far. Our language is English learn it or leave.

I know some Englishmen who would beg to differ with that statement. :-)

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.

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

The studies I saw supported it very well, and it does make logical sense.

Oh I remember those. The studies that you refused to cite when I gave you
two cites that disputed them.

Is Puerto Rico an inconvenient counter example to this statement?

It makes sense to shallow bigots.

Most of the Mexican nationals in the US are poor country people from
northern Mexico, but even they have learned the basics of reading and
writing their native language. Do you even know any of these people?
