If I understand your question correctly, I think the word you want is mascot. |

First thank you very much.
And second, sorry if my English is so unintelligible. I did my best to make myself understood. It's a pity that English-speakers cannot communicate in any other language.
At least, non-native speakers do try to speak English. |

Don't stereotype. I can communicate with you in three other languages, and I would understand you in at least another three or four. |

Hi vane?, why are you so upset? Jamie (K) answered your question as best as he could and he started a discussion about non-native speakers (of English I suppose?) try to speak English. Why would you say that English speakers cannot communicate in any other language? How do you know? I mean, if this was the case the UK and US would not exist and also, English would not have reached this level of popularity. Have you ever thought about that?
