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? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Jay 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 Just wait. Pretty soon our signs will look like the instruction sheets for most appliances. Three pages of instructions that take 30 pages to print in 10 different languages. Matt |

We already have that. No wait - that's legalese - the official language of Congress. Jose -- Humans are pack animals. Above all things, they have a deep need to follow something, be it a leader, a creed, or a mob. Whosoever fully understands this holds the world in his hands. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
