Happens everywhere, not only in Orkut (Score 3, Insightful)

I'm a brazilian, who lives in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, a city where lots of tourists like to spend their vacations. Many of these tourists happen to be americans, of course.

The great majority of the americans tourists come to Brazil without knowing a single word in Portuguese, which happens to be Brazil's official and only language. (this also apply to tourists from other countries as well)

And i've never seen any brazilian complaining when a american tourist go, let's say, to a restaurant and try to speak in English with the waiter, although he's not talking brazilian official language. (and this happens a lot)

I think it's the same situation.

Oh, i also think that orkut-based spam in Portuguese sucks. But it sucks because it is spam, and not because it's not in English.
