I went into a mcdonalds a long time ago, ordered using the handy "number" system. The Spanish speaking girl working the register didnt know what I was saying... It's a fricking number!

[NakaNaka]

Why was she mad when you said thank you?

Quit your bitchin. There is no reason why those people should have to learn English to work there. Next time go to Sonic and they will give you a book so you can communicate with them.

You need to speak EITHER english or french. Both are official.

Except the "all the customers speak English and I'm serving the customers" reason.

[WarDemon666]

for all the people that asked why she looked mad: I guess she thought I could speak french perfectly.. My girlfriend and others say I dont have much of an accent.. She really couldnt speak english and she probably thought i couldnt speak french, and i left saying "merci"

I always get that kind of idea, maybe its all in my head :Q

I'm assuming that the post office was in Quebec?

:roll: Those customers should educate themselves and learn every language they may come in contact with. Lazy bastards. English is not the official language of the US. It is even worse considering Modeps is in Connecticut. The state practically borders Mexico.

Now that you put it like that, you're absolutely right! Thanks for showing me the son of a bitch that I truly am. To atone I will abondon my English-speaking ways. Buenos dias.

So to effectivly communicate in the US everyone should learn: English, Spanish, Cantonese, and Canadian French? Afterall we border/practically border those languages. Oh, and while were are it, lets add: German, Japanese, and maybe Farsi, since there are plenty of parts of the country you can get around on knowing just those languages... :roll:

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Making English the national language would solve a lot of problems.

How many of those do you know?

Rally's... Checkers... I had to have urbandictionary.com open on my PDA just to order!

Yes. You should learn any language you are likely to come in contact with on a daily basis. You lazy English language elitist make me sick. Why do you think there is not an official language. The founding fathers expected us to evolve and take on other languages.

 

[NightCrawler]

For god's sake learn english so when we all swear at each other people actually know what we are saying.

Your position is that people should be tolerant and understanding, yet your *assuming* I'm an elitist and don't know any other languages. Way to make your case.

What if I told you I'm from Pakistan, I know Farsi, English, French, and I'm learning Spanish? You'd be non-the-wiser. Way to preach tolerance and understanding, do as I say, not as I do...

Anyways. No, I'm not any of the above.... However, living in Texas all my life, I do know enough spanish to get around. Would that qualify as learning the languages I come in contact with on a daily basis?

As for the founding fathers, they also expected for us to become a melting pot, which didn't happen. Ever been to "china town?" Ever hear of the barrio? It's more like water and oil if you ask me. Melting pot..? Must be on low heat.

So, do you expect us to learn every language in the world? Afterall, we don't limit new immigrants to X,Y, and Z countries.

Also, why didn't you answer my question? How many languages do you know?
