I have to agree with you 100%. I don't mind people coming to live in the United States, but I do mind us having to press "1" for English and "2" for Spanish. You are right; we are Americans and English is our official language.

Well because we live in a multi lingual world.
Why do you find it offensive. In Europe its not unusual to find business and government offer information in many languages not just the European ones but many of the south indian ones.
Being able to speak more than one language is a sign of intelligence not something to get p£$% off about.

Cos not everyone speaks english well enough to understand it over the phone. I'm a brit and it ticks me off as well.

Would that mean you would never travel because every other country does not have to learn english? It's for commericial purposes...appeal to a broader population.
