David,

  That's kind of like the American traveler that goes abroad and expects
everyone in the world to speak English and is put off because they do not.
  Actually, foreign folks usually feel very complimented when you use their
language, even if you speak it badly.

   I am not advocating persuing the myth you are talking about.  I am not
talking about trying to please everyone and never offend anyone, which is
pollyanna.

  I think what my suggestion is that we can do this to show *mutual repect".
