Knowledge is Power!

I saw this story about the Philadelphia, PA. business owner posting a sign stating "This is America Please Speak English when Ordering", in his establishment. I saw it 1st on the web and then again on TV, then heard another segment on 850 KOA Denver news radio. There are people truly upset about this saying that it is racist. What do you think?

Learning English can be very difficult for foreigners. Since our ancestors had to learn English and they also had to endure the looks and remarks by people who did speak English, we should have better understanding and compassion in relating to any and all foreigners. There is CLASS and there is Rudeness, and Americans need to learn to be a people of Class. Instead of condemning a person who has trouble speaking English help teach that person. We are our brother`s keeper if we are willing to live like one. We rely on the supporting help from others in many facets of our daily lives. If I needed CPR some day, I would not care what language that person spoke. The trouble that people have on this issue has evolved because the world has grown so fast in population and technology. Because there is a lot of good in the people in America people in other countries are drawn to live next to these fine Americans. Unfortunately, they are also hit in the face by the differences that still prevail in this country. Seek to understand and be a positive influence. I am thankful for all foreigners, especially my ancestors. I would never had the opportunity to enjoy what God has given to this country if it was not for them.

Does the Internet lead to a brand of English that suppresses local variation in favour of quick and easy communication?
Yes, it does do this to an extent, when users of the Internet opt for online jargon and e-mail abbreviations
and suppress any regional vocabulary which they feel might not be understood.
There is however no proof that this online behaviour will influence the varieties of English in any significant way,
for example by making the different spoken varieties into a single bland Internet English!


is it true?

It is natural an efficient to speak the language of the country where you trade or travel. Is English the language of trading for ever? No obviously, language uniformisation is the result of inefficient computer based software to translate one language in another in the context of globalisation. It will not last.

The English language is conventionally used by many nations for international communications. In the USA. It is preferable to speak American, but Ispaniche languages are spoken by nearly 50% of the population. In my opinion this is not racism!

La lingua Inglese è convenzionalmente usata da molte Nazioni per le comunicazioni internazionali. Negli USA. è preferibile parlare americano, tuttavia le lingue Ispaniche sono parlate da quasi il 50% della popolazione. Secondo me non si tratta di razzismo!

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?

Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?

Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming.

In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
