I understand. Its just that I've seen people immediately treat someone like less of of person because they don't speak perfect english and I think that some people don't realize that there grandfathers and such that came toi this country probably took years to learn the language. just think how they would feel if there grandfathers were immediatly dismissed just because they hadn't mastered the language yet.


I'm glad to hear you have that patience....I think more people should have it too. I also believe that people should learn the language when they get here .....and just like anything else......the 10% percent that do it wrong screw it up for the 90% that really try and do it right. But most of them try and lots of the time nobody gives them credit for trying.
