For instance, when people speak spanish or another language in your presence, say "don't you know it's rude to speak a foreign language in front of someone that doesn't understand it? It's like whispering secrets". Or something to that effect.

And my wife would probably reply, "Don't you know it's rude to insist on eavesdropping on every conversation near you? Honest, we weren't talking about how small your manhood is."

""Don't you know it's rude to insist on eavesdropping on every conversation near you?"

I hardly think it is eavesdropping when you can't hear yourself think for their babbling. And more and more often, regular Americans, you know, the ones who speak the language, have to put up with foreigners with every accent imaginable to do business. If they have no command of the language then they need to do jobs in which they have no need to interact, if they are even here legally, and if they're not, they should be sent back where they came from. It is supposed to be a free country after all. Nobody is preventing them from learning English. And nobody should be forcing Americans to deal with their language. This has to be the only country on earth that sells out its own citizens to accommodate everybody else.
