I'm just annoyed by people who refuse to learn English or who insist on other people learning their language just to be able to communicate with them.
A store in my town that has been around for over 60 years has recently changed so everything is in Spanish, the name of the store, the things they sell, everything. I'm sorry, but I don't feel like I should have to bring a Spanish/English-English/Spanish dictionary with me just to go grocery shopping. One woman who got interviewed by a local news crew about the changes said she really liked it and she "felt like I was in Mexico" and I said to the TV "Then go back to Mexico!". I don't think those changes were necessary at all - I go shopping for ingredients I know and trust, I don't feel like going shopping for things I don't even know what they are.

At times because I work in the school system and I have children that can not speak English (bless their hearts). Some people can not help it (like the children) and have to deal with the same kind of frustration of not being able to understand and speak English as well.

Well too bad for you. American english are not the only people who live in this world. Are you an american? I have never met any Americans who are so racist like you. Your problem is maybe you never travel to check out the world see how other people from different languages live. There's nothing we can do its who we are. We are born from a different country with different language and culture. We know America speak english. We don't care about it. We are proud of our own language.

Evidently, nobody is "frustrated" enough to actually do anything about it.......yet. Real solutions are simple. Harsh. Maybe even violent. But simple. When enough are finally fed up with illegals to the point that they refuse to take it anymore, then the real "solution" will become obvious.

I'm not in America so I'm not frustrated by them at all, but I wonder if you're one of them yourself because the last time I looked "America" and "English" had capital letters. If you think that makes me pedantic, your question makes me think you might be a narrow-minded bigot.

I can see that you are not as educated as you might think.
FYI: In America...in all the 36 countries that are part of America...well...English is ONE of the HUNDREDS OF LANGUAGES AMERICANS SPEAK!
YOU SMART AZ!
WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND ASK YOUR TEACHER?
