When in Rome, do as the Romans do. So, if we are conducting business in the USA and Spanish speaking people want to do business here, then they should learn English like everybody else.

Sure, learning another language can benefit you, but frankly, this article is as if it was written by a college freshmen who has no idea about the way things work.

Hey, if you're conducting business internationally - never mind just in English speaking countries - you're probably doing it in English. English is the current Lingua Franca of the World. All First World countries are teaching English to their children. Upwardly mobile Second World countries, such as China, are trending towards English also. Why the U.S. should be trending away from English is beyond me.
