[Grovenet] ear mark this!

[Katie Allnutt]

If you are truly fluent in both Portugese and Dutch then I tip my hat  
to you.
But every election that I have participated in and everytime I have  
gone to renew my driver's license it has been in English for me.   
Have they not already been in English for you?
