that we get that message, "To continue in English press one"?
And - more importantly - why not something like, "To continue in Spanish, press one"?

That just happens everywhere. The primary language of the United States is English so that is why you press one and two for Spanish.

Nope it is the same in Florida (SE Ft Lauderdale area), and they used to do it in NY too (LI/NYC metro area). I find it to be frustrating. But I was in Sears last weekend and they played msgs over the intercom in Spanish too, which is a very recent development- sheesh, what next, stop signs in Espanol too?
