Language is the curse of all English speaking people, not just Americans. The British and South Africans are the same. They expect the rest of the world to speak English perfectly, but they do not speak any other language themselves. In Spanish speaking countries, if someone attempts to speak Spanish, no matter how poorly, it's seen as a compliment that they are making an effort to speak your language. In English, if you don't speak English well they think you're stupid.
