How many Texas Czechs are left?

They've probably all bounced.

Holy resurrection badman!

How many Texas Czechs are left?

Depends on what you mean. If by Texas Czech speakers very few, probably about ten thousand. If Texans of Czech ancestry then tons, probably about a quarter million or so.

One of my co-workers is of mixed Texas German and Czech ancestry.

There was an interesting article about how they used proper Comanche for the injun warrior character in the new Magnificent Seven movie.

I read an interesting article recently about what they called "Globish" - a dumbed-down version of English. Most non-native speakers only know about 1500-2000 words, don't understand idioms etc. That's actually a big problem for the British diplomats at the EU apparently. Everybody there speaks English and understands each other just fine - until the British appear and speak in their much more complicated English that no one gets.

I notice you didn't mention any problem speaking with Americans.
