Randy, Doug,

I don't know. Most "foreigners" speak English a WHOLE lot better than
I speak their language! I never cease to be amazed at calling someone
in a far off land, listening to their "native" greeting, me
saying "hello", and then having them IMMEDIATELY switch to conversing
with me in English! Happens not always, but often...

Answer: An American.
