11. "Speak American?"

I doubt she knows even one word of ANY American language. I'm betting all she knows is one European language--English. Where does she think England is, anyway? Somewhere between Iowa and Illinois? England is in Europe, just like Spain. English and Spanish are NOT American languages. They are EUROPEAN languages.

If she wants to speak "American," then she must know Navajo, Seminole, Cherokee, Iroquois, Lakota, Wampanoag, Apache, Hopi, Tlingit, Ojibwa, or some other language indigenous to America. If she doesn't know any American languages herself, she has no business lashing out at other people, telling THEM to speak "American."
