Yeah, but we don't cater to every other group. The closest thing to a universal language to make things simpler is the PRIME language of the nation. Like this job I had at a restaurant. The guys could speak no English and didn't want to learn. They joked that I'd have to learn Spanish working there. Why? I speak the common language here. I have no problem learning theirs, but if one of us should be first to learn, it should be them, since they came here as outsiders originally. If I moved to ANY nation, I'd consider it RESPECT to know at least that much, if not anything else. We don't cater to any other languages this much. I just don't see why we bend over backwards where this is concerned, when we don't do it for other languages and groups.
