Where's the English?

_{English is the language of business.  Everyone speaks English.}

_{Two familiar phrases which sometimes seem to be true.  But then one discovers.  Not always.}

_{I was reminded of  this simple fact when I purchased a travel hair dryer while I was just in Paris.  Small.  Inexpensive.  With plugs that fit local outlets and electrical system appropriate for local voltage.  Cute, light weight and practical.}

_{But when I skimmed through the instructions including a notice written in nine languages:   “do not use this device near bathtubs, showers,  and other items containing water” – I was surprised not to find a bit of English.    The  warning was clearly displayed in languages included French, Italian, Spanish, Estonian and Slovenia.  No English.}

_{A gentle reminder from a small hair dryer -  English isn’t always everywhere.}
