That's unfortunate: PP is completely out of line here. I really don't see how she managed to take offence at that.

I completely agree that PP's comments were totally out of line.
Do you realize in Slovakia English ranks 4th on the list of foreign languages people are confident in? Or how hard it is to get, say, the Spanish (just to mention a large nationality with pathetically low knowledge of foreign languages) to stop staring at their own navels?
I don't know if PP is American or not, but I think if he/she is, Migeru's comment could easily be viewed as a demeaning and patronising--I mean what kind of an idiot would you have to be to not understand that English is not commonly known in Slovakia, or many countries for that example.

but IMHO the better course of action is to just not respond,,,,rather than doing a total blow-up.
