Then I want the Chinese to stop calling my country
MeiGuo. It's just unacceptable for them to mangle the
name of my country like that. And I'm tired of
Spanish speakers translating the name of my country
and inventing adjectives derived from that
translation. Chinese speakers and Spanish speakers
are just so insular. And while we're at it I want the
Deaf to stop signing the name of my country and just
say it like the rest of us.
