Hi neolib; Re: "... but I suggest that your own grandkids will have a 50-50 chance of speaking Spanish." Recent research on this subject shows that immigrants to the US tend to make their kids learn English because they want them to become engineers and doctors instead of the things that are associated with Spanish speaking workers in the US. For this reason, the steady immigration has not resulted in a steady increase in the number of spanish speakers in the US. Hey, if US Spanish speakers were all making $15 million a year as pitchers and short stops it's likely their kids would (a) be learning Spanish instead of English, and (b) be forced to attend various athletic programs. -- Carl
