It's kind of a southern thing too

Not completely; I've been known to use the phrase "good old (noun)" as well, and I'm about as un-Southern as you get. Smiley

If people want an international language, why not just adopt English, which is already practically the de facto international language?

I speak English fluantly, obviously, and can carry on a basic conversation in Spanish if necessary (which sometimes it is in this 35%+ hispanic area)

I am ethnically Chinese so I know that. And Canada is a bilingual country so I know English and French. Polish? Not yet.

English, though I can butcher it some days.  I also have or had a working knowledge of Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Chamaro (Guam's version of Spanish), Mandrin/Chinese, Hawaiian, and Latin.  Of all of those, only Tagalog and Chinese are the two foreign languages I still attempt to use, but that's because the two gals I like are Filippino and Chinese.  hahaha
