This is from your 1st post
You don't think this is rude? It ignores the fact that I also said that I had travelled on business, and you have no idea as to how I have travelled as a tourist.
I have found you rude and intrasigent in the past so I doubt that there is any point in continuing this.

As a starter I have found you rude and intransigent in the past.
I didn;t think my post was rude no, I just guessed how it may be possible to travel the world and find little use in speaking a foreign language except on a handful of occasion. I don't know how you managed it. Its a guess as it says?
I focused on the tourism, because you said that was how you travelled in the main?
The fact that as an englsih sales rep you met people who spoke english, I imagined to be quite reasonable.
If you say you only have 3 fingers total on your hands , but I point to your right hand and see 4. I have no need to look at your left hand to dispute the figures. Similarly I have no need to look at the smaller rep side to find it difficult to believe a language was of little use to you, ie a number you could count on the fingers of one hand?
About being intransigent - you haven't even attempted to move my opinion which is differnat from yours. I at least attempted to understand how you came to your opinion. And maybe you could have modified your statement somewhat - You haven't.
You have made no attempt to clarify how you managed to tour Japan and China and find little use for anything other than English. And when I attempt to guess - you say I am rude.
