Some years back, I had a German Boss who made a joke and wanted us all in the conference room to solve the riddle.
Define:
Multilingual
Bilingual
Monolingual
Everyone was able to define first two and when it came to the Monolingual, he did not agree to the dictionary definition. He laughingly said "American" (monolingual). Do we have any American in our CM artists?
Are CM artists multilinguals?

Mon ami,
Do you mean, americans don't speak it as they do across the pond? You canadians can take pride because you still are part of the commonwealth
Still, american slang is rich and is very expressive and I am sure you would agree with me!

Of course Americans speak the language called 'americain' (not english) 
It is full of slings and hence is slangish.
Call them 'alingual' if you like though their drawl is musical like cockney
