<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Now that I come to think of it, there are only two bi-English-speaking <br/>
&gt;borders, i.e. int&#39;l borders where you cross from one English speaking <br/>
&gt;country into the other, right?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>It rather depends on how you define an English-speaking country. Both India <br/>
and Pakistan define English as an official language (and it&#39;s the de-facto <br/>
language of government and commerce), although it&#39;s not necessarily the <br/>
first language of the various ethnic groups. The same goes for South <br/>
Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. I&#39;m sure there are others <br/>
that I&#39;ve missed.<br/>
