Of course, then you have the problems of compatibility with communicating
with other companies... Because they don't have that language requirement.

Brad,

GREAT analogy...!  Also speaks to the issue of HOW LONG will it ACTUALLY
take to get fluent, in Spanish...  (This being easier said, than done...)
