you have obviously, dear miroirprincess, missed each and every nuance in my post, I have also managed to "imply" and you have missed those implications on every level. I refuse to allow that to frustrate me.
"I certainly don’t expect everyone to speak English or accept US dollars as payment, which is certainly helpful" <--- OMG, I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU EVEN WROTE THAT - IT'S JUST WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS. The world does not revolve around American society so to even state that is an insult to anyone outside of that society. Take that mentality back to your farm in Arkansas, population 24 people.
First off, I have no farm in Arkansas, and, I was simply stating that there are some very dumb American tourists who actually think the world revolves around them. I, am not one of these, dear miroir, I am simply “implying” that if you come to France and make an effort to blend into the society, you will be, very often, treated with great respect. If, on the other hand, you expect the world to revolve around the US, then, you will have some difficulties avoiding rudeness. I suppose the way I wrote that was a bit deep.
I am so sorry, but you seem to be fighting with someone who is in agreement with you, and you don't even realize it. One, not so charming quality I find from time to time on my travels.
good day, Vive la France, and good luck. I hope to speak with you again when you have gained a bit more life experience in about 15 years or so.
