Alright!

Yes, American English.

I was raised in Minnesota and there are many folks there that come from different countries, Viet Nam, Puerto Rico, Cuba and other European countries. What I admired most is that those that I knew, spoke their mother language, of course that shouldn't be denied, BUT when doing 'business' with customers, they spoke English... while in school, they spoke English and read in English. Presently, eighty percent of the students attending our closest High School speak Spanish... constantly. The young woman that told me this happens to be the daughter of my friend with the palm incident above. lol She says that whenever a bell rings.. all you hear is Spanish up and down the halls.

Tom, outside of bandana, bronco and lasso, looks like that Cowboy and Rodeo(another Spanish word) glossary is mostly in English. :)

In today's global economy, it does help to learn other languages, I'm all for it. It's just 'nice' to be respectfull of the host country, as I said above.
