| Non-Commissioned Officer   |  Why Is It That We Have To Speak English. WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO SPEAK ENGLISH? A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a Naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a group of half dozen or so officers that included personnel from most of the countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages,Americans learn only English. He then asked: "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied:"Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americansarranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German." Suddenly the group became very quiet.
