English Impatience: Iraqis Rush to Learn American

Do they mean English?

Learn American, eh?

My Mom was teaching communications (they weren't allowed to call it English) at a Vo-Tech school in the late '70's. There was a Vietnamese that had escaped by boat and had come to the US who asked her one day if she knew of anyone that could give him a daily ride to the school so he did not have to walk the five miles from his house. She told him to post an ad on the bulletin board and see if he could find someone that way.

Two weeks later she inquired whether he had been successful in finding a ride to school.

"Yes, I found a man with a very nice car" he replied.

"How did you find him?" my Mom inquired.

"He saw my ad and he axed me!"
