some people say they are pathetic, others say they are ignorant, annoying, etc.. why didn't they learn speaking english? is it not part of their schooling?

I hate going around in stores of whereever and hereing a person come from another country not speaking english. They come to our country to make a better life for themselves and talk in there only language but not ENGLISH. I'm a wife of a military wife and I hate when they work for our tel. company and come in our house speaking there language on there phone and then bash us in our own house in English! CRAZY!

If you mean in Mylot, I just ignore them because it is against the guidelines to post messages that are in another language. In other situations, I believe that it is not a crime not knowing a language. How would you feel that the Tustsis in Rwanda would think you're stupid because you don't know their language? We should be aware that language and culture are diverse and we should respect each one of them. We should celebrate our diversity and not criticize it.
