wow...amazing...and good to hear!
Except at Washington Mutual they have the multi-language ATMs, that ticks me off everytime. I won’t use the blue English/Spanish deposit slips unless I cross out all the Spanish first and write Respect “America Learn English” on the top.
This isn’t bi-lingual anything. It is Spanish immersion. The least the illegals could do is learn the frickin’ language like the rest of the foreigners do!
“While they made up about 16 percent of all public school children last year, they made up 27 percent of first-graders.”
Wow...an 11 percent increase in ONE YEAR! Thank you, Jorge, for the browning of Texas at this phenomenal rate. Of course, many Anglo parents are using private schools or home schooling, so that may account for some of this whopping increase. They still have to pay the taxes for the failing public schools, of course.
Use to bank at Foothill Independent in So Cal...they didn't have the bi-lingual ATMs..but they were bought out by Pacific Western....who does use them...if I could crash the "Press 2" part of the menu program believe me I would! I use night drop for deposits or if they had that on a slip I'd do exactly as you do...:o)
How about none, Izquierdo?
What a coinky-dink.
English ->
left
Spanish ->
izquierdo, izq., izquierda
“Because, if things don’t change soon, Spanish will the dominant language spoken in the good ol’ US of A. Don’t you want your kids able to speak the commerce language of America?”
No kidding!!
Spanish->izquierdo,izq.,izquierda
What a coinky-dink.
hey...how about that?...:o)
What ticks me off is the abrogation of the teaching process to the kids. Saying they can learn from one another. Hmmm, isn’t there supposed to be a teacher instructing them, not the kids instructing one another. Then fire the teacher and let the kids have at it.
Let’s work on a plan to crash that thing, if its legal. I press 2 sometimes, if I’m in a mood, just so I can get a customer service person that gets paid more than the english speaking ones, so that I can give ‘em a hard time. Not a nasty one, just a bit of a hard time.
Write it on the deposit slips &/or envelopes anyway. What are they going to do?
From down in the land of bilingualism in SoCal, I can tell these people for absolutely certain that all schemes like this accomplish is making two groups of children illiterate and ignorant, instead of possibly one.
They can’t compete in grade school education in English, how in the bloody hell do they think they’re going to compete in two languages!?
I just never thought of it before...thanks!...:o)
At least you get it, unlike some others. LOL!
er...so all I had to say was “no kidding?!”??
if I’d only known it was that easy....LOL!
Thirty years watching California turn from a place of conservative pristene beauty, into a socialist cesspool will tend to do that to one : )

Rats...I hate it when I’m wrong...:o)
just got back from visiting the US Department of Commerce’s website and the second link after home ?...”en espanol”
...when I said Spanish “may dominate the service sector but not ever at the level of big business”..I was playing devil’s advocate...I hope that never happens....but it may be worse than I thought...It may be not only happening at the level of truck drivers at Wal-Mart...but Wall Street...:o(
Did our elected elites in Austin make any plans for the non bilingual teachers in those 10 school districts? I’m sure they don’t want to just lay them off and replace them with Hispanics. I assume they can pick lettuce as they will not have the skills necessary for diversity.
As an information “bro”, that’s all that counts!
Think I’ll move to Australia/sarc....
