Amnell isn't talking about English or any of the languages he speaks. He didn't say he didn't want to hear foreingn tongues in Japan, he specifically said "Spanish". If you said "I want to go to Japan, but I sure hope I don't hear any Korean" I would say say the same comment. Don't make excuses for what he said.

Is that so? And when did I call you pedantic before this? Even if I did, is that really such a bad thing? It seems to be in your nature to be draconian, and have things said or done correctly, but sometimes, it's a bit too far. It seems that this is a common trait among the older members on this forum as shown in several threads so far. e.g. the one where the kid asked about what was popular amoungst asians.
And, one other thing, this thread is about mexicans. Spanish is spoken in Mexico, hence the comment about spanish speakers.
