i quoted part of your quote, b/c that is what i was emphasizing, as i did w/ most that i have quoted.

and when did i lecture you on mastering a foreign language... read my post directed towards you and i have simply said it is WRONG to force a language upon someone from a different ethnic group. Thats like telling everyone in Egypt they MUST learn Arabic b/c it is there official language. Wake up to reality and you will see that Egypt is obviously not all Arabic and many speak English, so y are saying to do it in the United States.
