Okay, so I'm going to have to cast my vote in with "You are expecting too much" since no one else is really saying it. I'm an educated person. I took Spanish for seven years. I can understand it when it's spoken to me. I'm not a douchebag who thinks people should learn English to convenience me and my shitty, shitty language skills (and they are definitely shitty). But none of that makes any blinking sense to me. Except 19:00, because that's 7 pm no matter what.
I'm just happy to be literate and to speak a language that a lot of people in the world speak. I'm very, very, very exceptionally lucky for that. I'd like to be able to speak another language, but I don't. I'd like to have an intuitive understanding of languages. But I am happy to be myself, confident in my intelligence and the fact that I don't have to know/be good at everything.
