I'm an American

My language meme entry reminded me of a joke I heard a couple of weeks ago:

If someone who speaks two languages is bilingual,
and someone who speaks three languages is trilingual,
and someone who speaks more than three language is multi-lingual,
then what do yo call someone who only speaks one language?


They would be called "Americans." (Ouch! The truth hurts sometimes...)

And some of us just barely know one language!

I hate not being able to watch Telemundo. I can't even understand the commercials. This drastically cuts down on my available TV viewing.

LOL!

¡Sí, convengo!
