speakers

But the practise is so uncommon these days that many living English speakers only think of it as metaphorical expression.

It's impossible to say whether the upvoters of this story were mostly German speakers, but that's plausible.

A select few speakers were poorly prepared for a conference that they had months to prepare for.

Five times a day a car would loud speakers would drive around for their daily prayer.

It should be obvious that a serious lot of people here are not native-speakers.

I honestly didn't know --- never visited there on a machine with speakers (or with my headphones on).

On another note, do you guys wear headphones/earbuds or use external speakers?

I would have expected to see a higher level of polish in both speaker selection, and preparation by the speakers.

I'd still encourage you to go (they have great speakers and material at affordable auctions).

For me, I really find external speakers distracting, while headphones suck me into the code.

Technically (very technically), Latin-American would include people talking French or Portuguese, while I guess Hispanic will only include Spanish speakers, e.g.

Better speakers might allow for more detail at lower volume.

Interesting --- I had been under the impression that British speakers of English didn't use the word "truck" for this purpose.

I've heard native English speakers say things like "If a mother wants to use the nursing room, they can just key in the code in their pamphlet".

It's not just English speakers who use the term 'American' --- I've frequently heard it in use by Polish and Hungarian people when speaking their own language: "[Polish words] American [more Polish]".
