As a US speaker, I apologize. OTOH, some of the other languages also lose in 
the translation to English and we don't always get it either.  Its a wash on 
balance, and since I don't speak enough of any other language to claim I do, 
I always tip my hat to those that make the effort to speak my language.  
Thank you all.
