No, I didn't. My statement was actually quite correct. I don't care about little pockets in cities and towns where people who don't care to learn English don't speak it.
Fact of the matter is, if American businesses want to work with other American businesses, you do it in English. If you stepped foot out of your own hole (which others would call your a$$) you would know this to be true.
You may not like that and wholeheartedly support political correctness and racial and ethnic diversity, but I don't play that game. I am an American. And I speak English. Got it?
No, I didn't. My statement was actually quite correct.
The statement "In this country, we speak and conduct business in one language: English" is quite correct?
Sorry, but it is utterly naive.
I don't care about little pockets in cities and towns where people who don't care to learn English don't speak it. Fact of the matter is, if American businesses want to work with other American businesses, you do it in English.
You don't get around much in the world of American business, do you?
Americans in American businesses can do business in any language of any commercial nation in the world right out of their U.S. offices.
American businesses employ armies of bilingual or trilingual or multi-lingual Americans that can sit down and negotiate contracts or conference call or correspond with clients either in New York City or Boston or Paris or Berlin or Tokyo or Mexico City or Moscow or Calcutta in whatever language the client may speak.
"American businesses" can be either a Mom and Pop store in Valdosta, Georgia or in Chinatown, San Francisco or it can be DaimlerChrysler AG with corporate offices and/or manufacturing plants in the U.S., Germany, Brazil, France, Austria, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa, Spain, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland and Great Britain.
I am an American. And I speak English. Got it?
I am an American too and I also speak English but what does your inability to communicate in a language other than English have to do with the fact that millions of other Americans in American businesses can and do communicate and do business every day in just about any other language know to man and some other Americans, when the need arose during World War II, called in for U.S. Navy gunfire support in Navaho.?
The fact that you can only speak English does not make you any more of an "American" than your fellow Americans that can speak not only English but can also speak Navajo or Cajun or Cherokee or Russian or German or Chinese or Spanish.
The spirit of America is the Can Do Spirit and not the Can't Do Spirit.
