Re: Thank you Veterans.
I understand what you meant but have exception to it.
I recall saying something to my (maternal) grandfather Kelly about being an
"Irish-American" back in the '60 and was told in no uncertain terms that he
was not "Irish-American" He then noted that his parents were
Irish-American.", they were born in Ireland.
My grandparents did speak with strong accents. It wasn't his Irish or her
Swedish but the same accent that my mother still retains 62 years after
leaving New Haven, Connecticut to go to college in the mid-west.
We, of course, have no accent. <g>.

Re: Thank you Veterans.
I once worked on a software development project that had five
developers from India. Many of them did not share the same native
language so they all spoke English to communicate amongst themselves.
