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
frequently requires a very materialistic reward.
