Clarisse McClellan's Daughter

Ahem.

It's not English. It's American. :)

Besides, I happen to agree it's a good level playing field, though I think it should be for everything outside the home. What happens in the home is your own business.

I'm a scientist. The official language of Science is English. I'm also from a country that's in danger of being consumed by the EU and be a homogenous mix. My parents are also moving to France. No one speaks English, everything is in French, and as such, even though it's part of the EU they are taking French lessons (including my father who has no tongue for languages).

I think there's room for individual identity within a common goal.
