Ok, I'm trying to be understanding, open minded and fair but I'm feeling completely pissed to the max about a few things.
IF YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY THAN ME PLEASE COMMENT AND SHOW ME YOUR PERSPECTIVE I am open and want to understand better.
Having said that preamble I will still appear to be prejudice. Maybe I am but in denial? Either way here goes...
FUCK PRESSING 1 FOR ENGLISH.

Everything in America should automatically be in English.
I feel its great and super supportive to offer people to hear or read things in other languages especially with certain products and marketing niches BUT ENGLISH SHOULD BE FIRST.
Seriously. I don't want you to ask me to press 1 for the language of the Country I am calling in .
I have NEVER gone to France and expected ANYONE to speak English. I am pleasantly surprised and appreciative if they do but key word: I do not EXPECT it.
Nor do I call a Japanese business located IN JAPAN and EXPECT the option to hear things in English. If I do not speak Japanese then I should NOT purchase things from a Japanese company OR I should enlist the help f a friend who DOES speak Japanese.
This also leads me down the bumpy road of discussing people who do not speak English having the EXPECTATION when they drop their Kindergartner off at a FREE public school that the school is solely responsible for that child integrating AND learning English.
Oh and THOSE people are MOST OFTEN the ones who GIVE NOTHING BACK to the school or community.
I of course do not speak for ALL people in this critical rant but a HUGE majority live near me and this is MY personal experience.
Ok, so there it is. Out there in its red white and blue - lets hear it.....


Since Dumb has become the new Cool, enough illiteracy among those for whom English is the first and only language exists already. Mix a few others in and the Tower of Babel rises again.
