Language

Ok, why is it when you call a major business you hear, “Press 1 for English?” The majority of Americans speak English, so why should I have to Press 1? Why can’t the people that can’t/won’t speak english press something? It just doesn’t make sense to me. If you live in the United States you should SPEAK and UNDERSTAND ENGLISH! If you want to speak Spanish (or any other language), speak it at home or when you are out with your like speaking friends. There are many avenues available for non-English speaking people to learn English. The United States spends MILLIONS of dollars to print things in English and Spanish. Think of the money that could be saved by not having to do so.

The last time I was in Mexico I didn’t see signs in English (granted, it has been many years since I’ve been there), and when I was in Vietnam there weren’t signs in English. I either learned rudimentary words or lots of sign language to get what I wanted.
