Spanish, genius. The language of Mexico is Spanish. Not Mexican. Spanish.
The term "jingoistic" seems to apply to you. Look it up. Your native language is English, so you should look it up in an English dictionary. Not an American one. It won't do you any good to look for an American one.
I grew up near a bunch of Cherokee. They've all been here a lot longer than my family. Shouldn't I have learned their language?
Kansas is a 2 day drive from Mexico and a 2 day drive from Canada, unless you drive reaaaaaaally slow.
I'm sorely tempted to show you some American-on-American arrogance, but I can't do that and still remain professional, as much as I'm tempted.
