Ah, Minneapolis

I was filling out a library survey, and this question popped up:


What is the primary language spoken at home? Choose one.

English
Hmong
Somali
Spanish
Other, please specify


This is middle America, people. And I think it is awesome. Also awesome? The library has Hmong- and Somali-speaking librarians in addition to ones that speak English and Spanish.

*****I do realize that only people who read English will be able to complete the survey. That's not the point--and note the phrasing of the question.
