An Hispanic acquaintance of mine related a personal story about when he
was speaking in Spanish to a friend of his, and someone actually walked
up to them and told them something to the effect of "You're in America,
speak American"!  Personally, I like to hear foreign languages,
especially tonal ones, something about it just intrigues me, even tho I
have no idea what's being said.  :-)
