Is it fair to call adults who only speak one language in this day and age retarded?

I would say so.
Learning a second language has several positive effects on the brain.

I guess I'm biased but I would say no. Unless you learn it at a young age the time commitment and use it or lose it problem make it hard for an adult to even take the time to bother. It's more up to the parents to teach it at a younger age than anything.

Not if you're murrican since you already speak the most important language.
I hate when people say they know three languages, when in reality they know their native language, English, and whatever language they were forced to learn in Highschool.
If English wasn't my native language, I would have learned it too.

Fuck you OP. Unless you live in a border area you pretty much have to be rich to get fluent in a second language. I.E. To really become fluent you need to live in a foreign country for at least a year.
