LOL - Do you know more than 50% of Germans speak English quite well. Perhaps 75%. Most educated Europeans speak their native language, English and at least one other language. The US isn't going to be the top dog much longer, so I guess Chinese, Hindi, or Arabic will be the language of power soon.

And, God help us the day immigrants from Mexico speak English as well or possibly better than our kids - we are totally screwed then .......... Keeping them Spanish speaking only is to our financial benefit.
