Actually no. German students begin learning English at an early age.
This is Alabama, we speak English

ok bad example. What about Finland, Russia, etc? (you get the point I'm trying to make here right?).
...or French.
TBH i tend to skim your posts
it was 2 ****ing words
it was written for someone who has the attention span of 2 ****ing words
I was by no means insisting that others learn English. I posted this because I thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with the Ridemonkey community. I just love how everyone nitpicks at how people type, even the smallest error, does it really matter?
I LOlZ at teH Postz...!!111!!
Whose life is this issue affecting really? Yours or the poor mexican who can't communicate? What an honorable cause, to needlessly make peoples lives harder (generally poor migrant workers).
Does it put you off that much to see a sign here and there written in a foreign language? Grow the f*ck up.

a 'piso mojado' here; a 'cuidado' there, and next thing you know, we're talking like a squeaky dora the explorer
at which point we'd might as well write latin on our currency
Languages evolve. ¿Comprende?
of all the ppl here, i'd expect someone who was around when latin was a spoken language to have gotten my snarky reply.
e pluribus ****ing unum much?
bloody hell you quakers are wound up tight
Really... Because what exactly does "I do agree with him" and "I hope he wins" mean then?
We're just pointing out that if you're going to insist on something like a drivers license exam to be only given in English, you might want to ACTUALLY LEARN HOW TO WRITE/SPEAK IT FIRST. Because otherwise you might just look like a redneck racist hypocrite who can't spell. Lolz.
I do agree that the test should be in English because road signs, freeway signs, etc, are in English, and alot of people dont understand the language. But I also said that I can see how it can lead to problems, such as illegal drivers, racial controversy and whatnot. I hope he wins because I am interested in seeing the outcome of the change in the exams.
You have a most curious sense of logic.
Tell me, do you find images of Sarah Palin arousing ? When she speaks, are you inspired ?
Your reading comprehension is as bad as your spelling*.
Did you not read that post earlier on where it was pointed out that road signage around the world follows the same design convention.
A stop sign is designed to visually look like a stop sign no matter where you are in the world. The lettering on them is largely unimportant.... And most of the freeway signs are place names. Why do you think the place name would change in another language??????
ps doesn't your browser have spell check?
*yes I know my spelling is pretty bad, but I look like a genius beside this clown.
I posted this article becuase I thought you guys would find this interesting. Guess not, because all you care about is proper spelling and grammar. I'm done here.
ignore that pack of cunts
they just haters; hatin'
Posting the article for discussion is fine. Advocating that driver's tests should only be given in a language that you apparently can't even write/spell/use correctly only opens yourself up to ridicule and mockery.
uh, i believe you mean drivers' tests. if you meant what you wrote, you need either a definite or indefinite article before driver's test. notice i corrected your plural, as there is only one written test per driver.
just in case you're open to ridicule & mockery...
^^ Only two problems with that:
1) I'm not advocating an "English only" viewpoint, therefore correcting me (while "clever" on your part) doesn't actually bring up the hypocrisy issue that has been raised in this thread.
2) A "driver" is a single unit, and therefore the test for said single unit is "driver's test". At least that's how the PA DOT refers to it, as well as the GA DOT.
But hey you tried, so we'll give you a silver star anyway.
edit: You may have me on the contradiction in plurality aspect. It would be driver tests, or drivers' tests, depending on whether it would be deemed single article (driver tests) or whether it would add plural throughout the article (drivers' tests). But I stand by the 1st point.
