What and who are you disagreeing with here?  It looks like you are 
attempting to refute what Matt said, but I don't understand which part
you are saying "Not so" about.  Obviously it is not the last sentence,
as the next thing you say is that you like having English menus.  But
besides that sentence, he is pretty much just stating personal preferences
and experience, so I don't see how you can refute that.

Which is what Matt was saying.
