The only thing that gets my goat is when I see parents with 8 year-old kids that were born here and are translating for them, because they haven't bothered to learn the language at all. I understand that it can be difficult for an adult to learn a second language, but in only a year and a half I reached a level of proficiency in Korean that allowed me to live there as a citizen, and it irks me to be unable to communicate in English with people that have been here for years. Hell, my wife has only taken a single, free ESL class at the community college and she does really well with English, because she's put the effort in to listening, practicing, and retaining what she hears. All that being said, it does kinda bum me out when I'm going through private and state job descriptions and see so many listings that say they prefer bilingual (English and Spanish) applicants. All the Spanish that I learned in high school was flushed when I learned Korean. I only have room in my head for two languages, and I kinda need to retain Korean.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once

That kind of reminds me. Some people don't have the ability to learn a new language. They just don't have what it takes mentally to do it.
The difference between stupidity and ignorance is, ignorance can be fixed. I don't have any patience with people who are ignorant, and choose to remain ignorant.
