"For English, Press One"

I HATE WHEN THAT COMES UP!!!!!!!

I don't shop anywhere that that comes into play. And I tell the manager about it.

Screw Spanish. I hated it in High school and I hate it now....especially as it is now becomming the first language of the US.

Can't say I hate Spanish. As languages go, it's not so bad (ie - its not something like Finnish or Mandarin). I have no objection to folks speaking Spanish in Spain and in Latin America - and when I'm in those places, I try to speak Spanish.

That's not to say, however, that its widespread use within the United States instead of English is a good thing.

On that, I say no: The retreat of universal English in the USA is very bad for us in terms of national unity, civic relations, public safety, education standards, etc.

I missed the memo that said that English was the official language of the US.

Not saying that it shouldn't be the official language, but its not so do something about it or stop the xenophobic krap.
