Absolutely. How would any other countries people feel were they to be offered the language of an adjoining one rather than their own. Send the French a statement in italian, perhaps? Or the Russians one in Polish?

I may be the one to post it here, but I'm not the only one to be offended. It's simple, Brazil is half of South America. Brazil is more than half the GNP. Brazilians are served in their own language at Disney World in Orlando because Disney wants Brazilian trade. Why not Marriott?
