Re: that is awesome
Well, that is a totally different soap box we are about to climb on -- but since I came here from a non-English speaking country, I feel I have the right to comment on the subject: I feel very strongly that we should NOT make exception for non-English speaking *citizens*. This "let them speak whatever" will destroy the fabric of what makes the US a union. There are stores that answer the phone in Spanish (yes, there are places around here that do that.) and I will not deal with them. And so on, and so on...
Go ahead, start the flame thrower -- I already put on the flame retardant suit  ) |

said by nolesch  :Press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish. What about 3 for Italian, 4 for German. Isn't that a little unfair to the rest of those that still can't speak English in our own country? Would you move to Italy and expect them to cater to you just because you can't speak Italian? |
