If I could read/write/speak a few sentences in another language I'd be 
happy.  But as you said, the US is the center of the world, and nearly 
everyone else speaks English.  Thanks for accommodating us!

Correction:
"make that mistake."

'make a/the/that mistake' is how it's said here (present tense)
* If you hurry, you're more likely to make a mistake.
* Did you make the mistake of installing Linux?
* I won't make that mistake again.

'made' is the past tense:
* He made a mistake.
* She made two mistakes.


But like I said, your English is good and often has more nuance than I 
would expect from a non-native speaker.
