where I used to live (Ipswich) there was quite a big Polish community
I dont in any way have an issue with two Poles speaking Polish to each other (in public or private), but I think it is problematic if you want to move to a new country and you dont make an effort to learn the language.

I pretty seriously considered taking a job in Germany last year, and I certainly would have made every effort to learn German ASAP if I had have moved.

EDIT, I will tell you something that DOES offend me. And thats white people in Texas and Arizone etc railing against the govt allowing people to transact in Spanish as it is a "foriegn" language. Have you ever heard of the Conquistodors, you pricks? The Spanish were conquering this place and slaughtering the Indians a long time before the fucking English!!!
