the geographic distribution is not very
even, and the countries that speak the language primarily are not that
influential.


About 1/4 of the Dallas cable TV channels are in Spanish.

As hard as it may be for residents of the city to accept, there is more to the

How about those 1040 instructions printed in Spanish, or did you forget to

The United States is also only a small fraction of the world, and it has an
obsession with political correctness and a substantial minority of Spanish
speakers that most nations do not share.

The odd thing is that most people in the U.S. who can speak only Spanish are
illiterate in both English _and_ Spanish.

Do you have a source that you can cite for this, or did you just make it up?

Tell ya what...

Why don't you make a list of all the foreign countries you've been to and
I'll respond with a list of my own and we'll see who's got the widest world
view.

That's ok.. I figure even if he lies we'll all know it. Everyone knows he
rarely leaves his apartment.
