Jess Anderson puts the blame on imperialism as to why we are
language nummies in the USofA . Naaaaaah Jess, it is plain
old $$$$. We Amuricans just have never needed to speak anything
else to make our weekly paycheck. It ain't snobbism or imperialism.
Hadn't anybody noticed ? Change requires effort and that effort
