Sorry for the errors, I need sleep...

I am not trying to pick a fight but at the same time, why should they put heavy emphisis on a language the majority will ever use? Imagine if Japanese was a compulsory second language in the States...how many Americans actually go to Japan. I think the majority, in their lifetime, will never see the land of the rising sun.

Just like the majority of Japanese will not extensively use English.

Peace,
Meng
