answer:Gadzooks! We are America, leader of the free world. We have the bomb, everyone should bow to us and learn Emglish. We should not have to stoop so low as to learn their language, unless they have the bonb. All seriousness, I would place it on laziness, because so many nations teach English as a second language in schools and English is suppose to be the official language of business most Amercians never see the need to learn anything more.
