Agreed. Our neighbors to the north are statutorily bi-lingual and much of
Europe is multi-lingual. As is much of Africa, the middle east, and Asia.
So our barking about it a bit hollow. Once you travel internationally, you
will have a very different appreciation for how widely the English
language is spoken...or conversely is not....depending on your
destination.
The $64000 question here is how many languages? Overseas, where the
regulators are most assuredly more nationalist than here, they limit
languages to very few. Here OTOH, every single dialect wants in. They
can't have it both ways.
