Swedish Uses For Duct Tape

always curious when I see discenters posting signs NOT in their native language, but in English so the American audience can see.

This is a mosque in Sweden, why isn't the writing over her front in Swedish? Or, Arabic? So the local residents can understand? Or, is English so prevalent in Sweden that she knows EVERYBODY can read the message?

what sign? What message?

LOL! ...but took awhile to understand your comment, duh!

From my experience with duct tape, I wouldn't want to be around when THAT was removed.

Perhaps this can explain the use of English in Sweden? ^_^

Per RobertMacy:

I didn't want to say it... but that was my knee-jerk reaction to the photo.

Q1. What do you call a person who knows three languages? A1. Trilingual.

Q2. What do you call a person who knows two languages? A2. Bilingual.

Q3. What do you call a person who knows only one language? A3. American. (British, Australian, and French are acceptable alternative answers.)

I read recently that more than 50% of the population of some European countries are trilingual.

It's not the _knee_ jerk reaction we're concerned with.

How many countries are there in/on The North America Continent? How many countries are there squished together in Continental Europe? There are states in The United States that are larger than many European countries and The United States doesn't have that many countries within a few hours of driving time in an automobile. So why on Earth would Americans find it necessary to speak anything other than American English? Apples and oranges. ^_^

Never tried to get directions in LA, have you?

I lived in Californiastan back in the 1980's for a while and I really didn't have too much trouble getting around in that foreign country. ^_^
