Prolly cuz all of dem other countries can fit entirely inside the United States. So instead of learning Spanish and Portuguese and Italian and German, we have to learn to understand Southern English, Mid-western English, Minnesota English, New Yahk English, West Coast English, Inner-City English, English with Indian accents, English with Russian accents, English with Spanish accents, etc.
We are FAR more multi-lingual then people who consider long-distance travel anything over an hour.
