Ok I thought this was the "USA" we speak english here.I don't have any probs with different cultures,religions,lauguage.But when it starts to take over what this country is about that is when it becomes a problem.American's speak "ENGLISH".Why does everyone else feel so compelled to change it? Change things for the better where you live if you don't like it there change it,but leave the "USA" alone.

If you went abroad I bet you'd not only appreciate but RELY ON the "press two for English". What's wrong with meeting the needs of as many people as possible? Do you think that if you moved to another country you'd speak the local language fluently after one day??
I think that immigrants should do their best to learn the local language and adapt, but it's not that easy for some people to learn a new language, it takes time, and some first generation immigrants never fully get the hang of it. I see nothing wrong with meeting their needs. And then there's tourists as well who may need assistance in another language.
