That's so true.
My daughter wanted to take Latin, but it wasn't offered. Her reason was that it is a base language and it would make it easier for her to take other languages.Madea said:I took French in high school. It seemed so much "classier" than Spanish. ) Now all I remember is how to ask someone to go to the beach (which btw is the first phrase we learned). As an adult, France doesn't hold near the attraction.

(Though I will say with 100% certainty that this particular restaurant did not make a conscious business decision to switch to bilingual cookies.)
So again, you missed the bigger picture. I take partial responsibility for that though since you don't know me and I didn't spell it out.

Ok, so what is your version of the "big picture"?

And by the way, thank you for the mature back and forth. I always appreciate a good exchange of views and ideas. When it degrades into name calling and attacks it loses any value to participates and bystanders. [insert thumbs up emoticon here]
Hang on I'll check ... (poke, poke) nope, still feel pretty much the same.meandmyguys said:You did make that clear.
Are you feeling better?
