If they are friends tell them it bothers you

Yes, and in a situation like that, where you're the only non-speaker, IT IS rude.

Rude people speak all manner of languages.....

It's the intent and not the language. I could speak English and use enough word substitutions from "big words" and Brit-speak to speak in code to certain friends. But I wouldn't..... well, unless maybe I called someone a wanker. To their smiling unknowing face.

A question ... if you are not a troll then why in your profile do you state .. "Living in NJ after working for the greatest food company of all - INC - and since been transferred" .. and yet when you first came to this forum you were looking to come to the USA via a K visa and said you would be moving to Texas to be with your wife?

So your posts about a fiance/spouse visa were in aid of what?

Are you in New Jersey or Texas?

I believe it's Texas ... that is where your ISP is based ... isn't it?

Mods, Admins and people in positions in power should not abuse their powers by revealing info about ISPs, locations,etc. Quite simply - that is none of your business.

And maybe some posters here would prefer not to get into debates (although 'debate' would be the wrong word to use) with someone that can't even be honest about how he came to be in the US ... or which state he resides in.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it's no longer Mexico & no longer Spanish-speaking. I don't think it is right that they were forced out in the first place, but I do believe in abiding by the immigration law.

One final note ... I'm not in any position of power ... I just remember your previous posts here, that's all! I won't be wasting any more of my time on you!

Why not? I believe you've broken Article 3(c) here.
