I am thinking about learning French because we some clients that service areas in Canada that speak French. If I can learn the language I would get even more per hour.

Well, good! That's the problem with forums, email, etc...you cannot hear the tone in which a person is using...most frustrating!

I can envision a day when we will speak our posts into a computer, and when someone clicks on the post they will be able to hear what and how things are being said. I wish I knew enough about programming to creat such a program. I would probly get rich!  I know there is already software that will let people speak in a chat room to each other, but I don't know of any that combines what we are doing here with a voice feature.

You move to China - you learn to speak Mandarin.
Move to the U.S.A. - you learn to speak English.
Move to Canada - learn to speak English & maybe French IF you live in Quebec.

Well, what should happen and what does happen are almost always two different things. It has been predicted for around the last 20 years that this would happen, and it appears the time is upon us. Hope y'all like burritos!

It is not, silly. You can still do everything you need to do in this country in English.
