why is it that everywhere you go these days its in english and spanish?

Answer 1

Here in New Hampshire, a lot of things are in English and French (for the Canadian visitors). They do it to be more "tourist friendly".

Answer 2

Because of the influx of Hispanic people to the U.S. It has nothing to do with politics. Business owners recognize that they have an increasingly growing demographic and have made the appropriate steps to increase their business as well. They recognize that a person for whom Spanish was their first language (or is their only language in some cases) will appreciate being able to read signs, labels or instructions in Spanish.

Answer 3

I think it's unfortunate. Everyone else has been forced to learn the English language- there shouldn't be exceptions made for the Spanish-speaking population- it's not fair. I'm really annoyed by it to be honest with you.

Answer 4

Because Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States and are rapidly catching up with us Anglos! Viva la Raza! See, you can learn Spanish, too!

Answer 5

because the ultra liberals figure its discrimination if their base can't read. God help them if nothing was in spanish and every non-english speaking "person" was unable to follow the law and furthermore be unable to vote in the next election.

How would Hilary ever make it????

I sure hope that was soaked in enough sarcasm.

Answer 6

because it is important that americans also know how to say things in spanish.
By the way, maybe it will be a good time to switch to the International Measure system (kilometers, kilograms, etc..) everybody else in the world uses that system and I do not know why the americans do not want to go out of the bubble !

Answer 7

It's for the convenience of the Mexican illegal aliens....of course. I think that if you see businesses that do this, we should all express our disapproval to the management. They are simply pandering to the illegals so that they can make more profits.
