why do I have to dial 1 for english?

Answer 1

A very good question. Because U.S. it becoming obsessed with being politically correct, and it will get worse I am sure.

Answer 2

"Dial 1 for English, 2 for Spanish, 3 for Chinese, 4 for Polish, 5 for Russian, 6 for Japanese, 7 for Korean, 8 for French, 9 for Italian. All other people are out of luck."

Answer 3

Because English is #1

Answer 4

My mother tongue is English but you retards wreck my head especially the racist ***** above me. You have to dial 1 because some people don't speak English. Try travelling ******** and you will see that not only do Americans have the one the lowest levels of foreign language competencies but they arrogantly expect the French, Italians or whoever to understand English.

Answer 5

That's as bad as Bank of America. If you press 1 for English, the first thing you are asked is for your social security number. But if you press 2 you will not be asked for it. Illegal aliens can now get credit cards through Bank of America and Wells Fargo without a social security number, but born citizens cannot. No social? press 2 and speak spanish, get full service banking. Press 1 and get hung up on.

Answer 6

I have a better one. When I call one of my service providers it automatically starts speaking Spanish first AND THEN gives me the option for English as prompt 1. I have no problems with anyone who went through the trouble to become a legal citizen, but these immigration laws are becoming ridiculous. We will be the minorities in the U.S. sooner than later, and forced to speak Spanish to order a cheese steak.

Answer 7

1 4 English & 2 4 well i need 2 ponts

Answer 8

You do, because unless you speak Spanish and wanna dial 2.

Answer 9

When you press #1 for English, your call are transfer to call center in India.
When you press #2 for Spanish, your call are transfer to call center in Mexico.

Why #1 for English? Because more people would be upset if they have to press #2 or #3 for English.

Answer 10

Back when our ancestors came to America they just all learned to speak the language so that they could prosper. With all the people running and crying discrimination we have to press one for English and two for Spanish. What about Arabic, German, Itailian, Chinese.......etc...These people should get their own buttons two....don't you think? Perhaps we should make everyone learn our language....the rule to becoming an American Citizen should be learn the language first and then pressing one would be the only button we need....PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH AND NO OTHER LANGUAGE AVAILABLE.....THIS IS AMERICA!!!!!!!

Answer 11
