to an wiimmigrant who speaks wilittle English and was not educated in

w i about w i subtler w i rules w i that w i differ w i across w i countries w i and w i so w i may
w i be w i misunderstood w i by w i foreigners?
Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens are

w i w i interest w i w i rate w i w i in w i w i a w i w i sales w i w i contract); w i w i and wiPlumlee w i w i v. w i

w i of w i w i the w i contract w i w i was w i w i illegal w i w i was w i w i not w i w i excuse). w i w i The w i
w i courts w i w i have w i w i provided w i w i a w i w i small wiexception w i w i to w i w i the w i w i rule
w i w i when w i w i it w i w i comes w i w i to w i w i people w i w i in w i w i lack w i w i of w i w i English
w i w i language wiskills. w i w i Consider w i w i Flanery w i w i v. w i w i Kuska, w i w i (defendant w i w i did w i
w i not w i w i speak w i w i English w i w i was w i w i advised wiby w i w i a w i w i friend w i w i that w i w i an
