In case you don't remember, I'm in AZ, not NYC or Europe. :-) I can hardly
imagine Phoenix being more cosmopolitan than San Francisco. We're far more
likely to have Spanish names on *everything* here than anything else beyond
English. To be perfectly honest, If I moved to Rome I would *need* to
learn Italian, or French in Paris, or Greek in Greecem, etc. I find it
distressing that we are being "forced" into a bilingual culture here.
