Shortly after NAFTA, I noticed an increase in products with English/French/Spanish labels – which makes sense, since all of North America became more commercially accessible. Could be that companies noticed increases in domestic sales after the multilingual labeling, word got out, and now smaller, non-international companies are following suit.

B) I merely wonder how in the name of jeebus can these marketing experts look themselves in the mirror? IMHO, any decent patriotic person would understand that sometimes “speaking to a new demographic” will actually undermine the system that allows them the freedom to study demographics. America (used to be) is about assimilation. Become a part of our culture and add to it, and then we’ll adapt our culture to yours. Just look at all the slang that’s stuck in American English to see the example.

At any rate, I see it as selling your country for an extra half-percent of market share, and it pisses me off.

4) Sorry about the rant, but you started it. :^)
