While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish.
While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either.
While in Florida, I had to press 2 for English.
It just isn't fair.

Poor baby. Some of us speak and read more than one language.
But you understand English.........right?

My grandparents (both sides) learned English when they came over.
They also came over legally, as did millions of other immigrants.

Folks with your type of thinking have ruined America and the future
quality of life for my children, grandchildren.........etc.........

I feel sorry for them based on the world they will be living in.

Thanks Harry.

I've been visiting Florida for decades, starting in the 1960s. The
first time we went to Miami, I practiced my high school Spanish down
there. People speaking Spanish is nothing new. There are just more
folks doing that now. When we lived in Florida, and it was North
Florida, we spoke English and Spanish, and English mixed with Spanish.
Americans are intellectually lazy


Ahh.....so Americans need to learn Spanish...eh?

Like I said in another thread, you continue to amaze me. ;-)


Why not? Americans should learn English and one other language in public
school. We'd be in much better shape as a nation if more "anglo"
Americans spoke Spanish, Arabic, Korean, Chinese, whatever. But of
course millions of "anglo" Americans can barely speak English.

And here are two unrelated issues melted into one by Harry "fake
lobsterboat" Krause of Ullico fame.
