hello america! i was not planning on saying anything until tomorrow but, i just left the corner store &, what i heard, upsets me greatly.
i was behind a hispanic lady with 3 kids & she was having a problem with the owner. she wanted to use 'foreign' currency to pay for her groceries---the owner wanted american dollars. a big argument ensued & the bottom line is, the lady told the owner (who i know) to learn spanish. this is where i have a problem.
if i go to a foreign country & i don't know their language, should i demand that they learn mine?
english is taught & spoken in more countries then i care to mention---not spanish; not russian; not german; not french; not latin---
when you enter america, learn to speak english, learn to read english &, don't demand that we learn your language. that is an option to us that we don't have to entertain.
