My point (and no my name aint Brad) is that the above case simply
WOULD NOT BOTHER ME ONE BIT!

I have been in Chinatown (Spadina St) in Toronto, and there is very
little English there. Of course there are very few English speaking
residents so it seems quite appropriate. If a buisness wants to use
Swahili, French, German or even Pig Latin that is just FINE. Freedom
means FREEDOM!
