ArmyBengal Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO SPEAK ENGLISH?A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a Naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.At a Cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a group of half dozen or so officers that includedpersonnel from most of the countries.Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenlycomplained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.He then asked:"Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied:"Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, I found it amusing...

bengalboomer7 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Pretty good.Now we have people living in this country that don't speak English and protest for legal American rightsOn a side note, why is it that in school they teach you that English is the only subject you capitalize. not math, social studies, or anything else, just English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
