Most of the West Coast and South-West, and South, have predominantly Spanish sounding location names; San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc, etc....and I suspect many of their Folk speak "Spanish" to each other.

Paul.... :D ...!

In 1958 my residence was Haskell, TX where I learned to speak (I learned to chew, some maight say) the English language. In High School they included me in the Spanish lessons, because I spoke & pronounced Spanish: the teachers did not!! Many or most local names were written in Spanish but pronounced in English!! The Spanish language was very very absent from normal conversation, prevalent was the texan drool. Put a chewing gum in your mouth & you automaticly speak Texan English. For Crhistmas they had many parties, each church it's own celebration. :clap: :clap: :clap:

I was invited to all of'em to speak about Christmas celebrations in México & Spain (I lived for 8 years in Spain -1948/56- before residing in Mexico) :clap: :clap: :clap:
