    Even in India with its numerous native languages English is one of the official languages there that's used as the common language around the country.

    What I don't like is having to punch a number on the telephone to talk to someone in English when we live in an English speaking country, well it used to be anyway.

    Most people (60%+) are trilingual, Dutch (obviously) with English, and either French or German or another language at conversational or near-conversational levels. Around 30% are quadralinguals.

    In English, anyone who speaks more than two languages is a polyglot.

    ¿Se habla Inglés? ¿No? Then start learning. Lesson over.

    America means more than the United States! In Canada, half of North America, I might add, we have two. We're in to the mosaic model, rather than the melting pot. Even so, our identity has managed to sort itself out, eh?
