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.

I read in the paper the other day that enrollment in Japanese
classes at Oregon universities is up significantly in recent years.
It seems that it is mostly business majors who are taking the
classes.
