This above discussion, just seems to keep popping up a little too often. What's up with people!!? Can anyone forget their mother tongue like that in 6 months! (sometimes less)! I just can't believe it!
I happen to know some Arab Americans that were born and raised here.... And still don't have this selective amnesia...
