    English + Spanish + French = NAFTA

    For a little while longer, at least.

      Have to say I've had instructions with a page dedicated to Korean. Shouldn't be too long before dialects such as Farsi and Mandarin appear in those booklets. The ones you'll be desperately searching through for something resembling English. I've often wondered if the other languages onboard are written just as poorly.

      English/Spanish doesn't really bother me too much. I equate that with the Canadian products printed in English/French or vice versa.

        I've said for a long time now that I spent twelve years in school, and the whole time I was always told to "read the words, don't just look at the pictures". Now all we have is pictures and don't have a clue what most of them mean.

          Canadian French/English is kind of quaint, but stupid in my opinion. I ran into a guy in Alberta who spoke stumbling English. He was "French"(or some rendition). Now we are to accept a contingent of people from south America who are decendents of Aztecs and Incas who don't come close to having the where with all to learn a "foreign" language? Why should they, we have acquiesced to their ignorance.

            My goodness, would you impose a burden on them? The intolerable burden, that is, of learning the language of the country they inhabit? (Although Togor, & many others, would insist that all languages should be regarded as equal in this country--the idea of a national language is no more than a cruel expression of "white privilege.") We MUST honor & respect their native languages & customs, illegals included--PC demands it!

              Separate illegal parasites from their native language? Oh boo-hoo, the humanity of it all. Let's spend billions of taxpayers dollars to teach our citizens how to communicate with them so they don't feel intimidated. Better yet, just give them our country, wealth, and freedoms that we have shed so much blood for. The democrats can even give them free cell phones and BJ's. If they still "demand" more of their "rights" blame Trump.
