    The one time I ever got upset at spanish speakers was the time in Waukegan I went into Dunkin Donuts and wanted to order something. I don't even remember what; it's about about 10 years. Neither the guy behind the counter nor his manager spoke English well enough to communicate. Pissed me off. At least, if you're going to be in a forward-facing customer-service position you should be fluent in the languages of your clientele.

    Any chance I have to practise Spanish, I take.

    Besides, you have no right to others conversation. Also, the Southwest and Texas has had large Hispanic communities since before becoming states so if anything, Spanish is as natural and expected as English here.

    You do agree with me that majority of Americans speak English, right?

    It's weird when people try to talk shit about "the American dialect" as if there's only one.

    Exactly, unless we have an official language OP really has no basis to make this complaint. Even if we did have an official language who really cares? An official language, as far as I know, would only effect legal proceedings and documents, you would still be able to speak in whatever language you wanted without getting in trouble.

    Heh, more likely I'm saying something like "ya has probado este cerveza?" Have you already tried that beer?

    Official language is the language used for paper work and official documents. It does not limit individuals on speaking their mother tongue. And as for the OP, not sure if trolling.

    English is the language most people use here in america. If they're unwilling to learn it here then can't say very few people will not help them when they can't understand what they're saying. If you want people to help you atleast say something they will understand.

    Just because I speak Spanish doesn't mean I don't also speak English.
