Soap bottles, the wife's hair care products, some home medicinal products... many of them are written in french and English. I couldn't possibly try to give a speech, but I bet I could damn near write one in french by now. Does anyone else utilize their personal time for educational purposes?

There is a problems coming with all this. It is common now to see many product labels in two languages. Printing everything in two languages reduces the size of the text by half, and if it gets to the point where things are printed in three languages then the type will be reduced to near-illegibility for most people. The problems that this can create are apparent when one thinks of the legibility problems of warning labels on things like bleach and caustic cleaners. If the type is near microscopic it is just too difficult to read. I ran into this problem the other day with a label on a bottle where the type was not much bigger than 1/16" high.
So it will get to a point where you will not learn anything off the labels because the type is far too small to see. The solution is to make the label or the package ten times bigger than it has to be so all the languages will fit; for example you might have a shampoo bottle with a two-foot-high label, but then the thing won't fit in the corner caddy in your shower. This stupidity of printing labels in multiple languages will reach a critical mass within a few years and you may end up being forced to buy your wife's shampoo in 55-gallon drums just to get a container small enough to hold the label printed in 36 different languages. The problem then becomes in finding the part you can actually read, which is a whole separate issue. Legislative stupidity defies belief in cases like this. It's like Braille on drive-up ATM machines.
