My parents, their families and millions of others came here many years
ago. They had to learn the language and went to night schools to do so.

While they were learning, did they have servants to venture out into the
world for them to buy food, or did they find merchants who spoke their
native language?


Mine, like most, had nether servants or merchants who
spoke their native language.

Neither did mine. As a result, I'm pretty happy that there were merchants
who displayed some information in other languages (which, in case everyone's
forgotten, was the original subject of this discussion - Home Depot's Great
Sin).
