Mr. Rodgers,


 If you noticed, the message in Spanish got translated very quickly by
someone that could (very good translation, by the way). As far as making
English the official language of the list, it is obvious that it already is.


 As far as the Eskimo languages that you refer to, that might be true, but
being of Hispanic descent (me), I have yet to find anyone that speaks
Spanish that cannot communicate with someone else that does regardless of
the country. Spanish is Spanish, period. Regionalisms and slang are a
different story.


 Some of us went to school to learn different languages in order to be able
to translate here in the list.  ;-O
