There are definitely multiple subcultures in even a small (~150) population of monolinguals. The larger the group, the larger the subcultures become. In the USA we have a very large group. In fact, a case can be made for a metaculture mediated by the television and broadcast media. However, this is similar to the case of the independent Jewish culture in Europe, wherein a deliberate attempt to maintain an independant culture succeeded, but a metaculture still existed and influenced the members of the microculture. Flaming about what I wot not. Hutch
