MJ probably knows I love puns, and I was just punning on the French and Spanish meanings for the word 'tres'. I guess all the languages with Latin and Greek roots have similarities, huh!

I think we should take all the money that we spend on teaching English as a second language and spend it on teaching American kids another language of their choice.

Obama is out to lunch when he says it's embarrassing for Europeans to know English but Americans don't know any European languages.

It has nothing to do with embarrassment. It's simply part of a good education. I took two years of Spanish and the only good it has done me is enjoyment and a tiny ability to connect with Hispanic people. That's reason enough.
