Loved your story Cogito. Over the years I have worked with people who can barely speak English and have made no effort to correct it. My employers of course have not demanded any better. Some of them had college degrees. I had to wonder how on earth they got a degree at an American school when they couldn't even complete an English sentence correctly.

Fast forward to Wednesday in my English class, I have returned to school to get a nursing degree. My English teacher is cool. He gave us a timed writing in class, stated that the scoring was 1-6, 6 being 100. If you got a 1-3, you failed and would have to drop the class because you could not pass the class without doing better on the timed writing. There was one woman in my class who can't speak English very well, she evidently failed the test. She tried to give him shit about it but he stuck to his guns. I only overheard part of it. He said something to the effect that if you have gotten this far in school that there is an assumption that you should be able to speak and write English better then this.

No one should get an easy pass on speaking English. It pisses me off that so much of life in the US has to be translated for citizens that should be able to speak English. I would never go to someone elses country and expect them to nursemaid me through it.

I think this is an issue worth becoming a bitch over. The next time your in a business where they have hired someone to take care of your needs and they give you someone who can't speak English. Make a complaint to the management. Let them know its inappropriate and that you will be taking your business elsewhere since this establishment is obviously not for the English speaking public.
