I visited the Atlanta Journal-Constitution auto show today. Lots of interesting cars. I also found out that Nissan is coming out with the convertible version of the 350Z this summer.

The following two tables give the percentage of people who cannot speak English well, divided based on their native language. The first table further divides the data into people born… Continue reading Language Ability
