We used it to heat our house growing up. But only on the very coldest nights, normally we’d use wood since the coal would actually put out too much heat. This was the 80s through early 90s in New York state, us.

Hey this is vanishingly unlikely. We don’t eat many turnips in the US.
You said they don’t have exposure. Exposure is everywhere in the US. I’d argue that Americans are exposed to far more Spanish than the average Italian is exposed to German. I suspect you’d find few Americans who don’t know what Agua means and would be confused if someone said Adios to them.
Most US citizen, never interact with people who don’t speak English as most Americans never leave the US.
Well, except for the 68 million people inside of the US that speak another language. If you live in New York city, California, Texas, or Florida, it’s damn near impossible not to be exposed to languages other than English. And statistically most of us do live in one of those places.
It’s changing, but not because of the education system. 22% of Americans speak a language other than English at home, and many, many more are likely bilingual enough to speak to immigrant relatives.
It’s hard to find numbers on third generation immigrants, but anecdotally seems very common for grandchildren to be able to speak to a non-english speaking grandparent. Almost 1 in 3 are either an immigrant themselves or are a child of an immigrant parent, so it stands to reason that the number having at least one grandparent to speak a language other than English is significantly higher, perhaps 40-50%.

I live in an area of the country where mosquitoes are a year round nuisance. Think mangroves and tropical weather. Thermacell devices actually work, unlike just about every other device out there.
