Default Re: British and American English Differences

FYI

In Mexico, according to the Constitution and despite being "too poor", people are obligated to attend to school form preschool to junior high, which is equivalent (as far as I know) to years preschool through 9th grade. Of course not, public education is not bilingual, and that is because our language is Spanish. For bilingual education is taught in private schools and even there people may not acquire fluency to speak English.

So again, I have to say, please, get informed. It is ok to talk about other countries and everything but I think it is important to be well informed and try not to be self centered.

Thanks!
