The American dollar supercedes all languages? You can go to restaurants in England, France, Scotland, Finland, and just about any foreign country - and the American dollar will not be accepted for the check - unless you (being a typical American tourist) only go to the TOURISTS restaurants.

Pay with your credit card and it gets translated into the local currency.

Thanks. There are a lot of very ugly Americans on this thread of late.

Since English is the language of America and Americans, companies should be smart enough to know to program their systems to press one for spanish. But then that would not be pandering enough to those of color who have no intention of becoming Americans or learning our language. Just here Pto fleece the benefits as the loose laws and lack of enforcement allow.

It all gets back to the non political correct attitude that this is America. Play by our rules or don't let the door hit you on your way out!!

I have never been prompted to "press 1 for English". The software sometimes says - in Spanish - to press 9 for Spanish.

Of course, I have to ask, what calls do you receive that ask for pressing 1 for English? If it is an incoming call and you do not recognize the Calller ID, why answer it?

This topic speaks to symptom but not the problem or issue if you prefer.

The left will prostitute themselves for a vote. So pathetic. And so UN-American. When the majority of America wants a peaceful country, which only means peace by power, this administration suggests that you embrace your enemy and love them. What a bunch of idiots. America could be great again, if we quit coddling the weird, the criminal, the evil and the perverted. Racial tension was nothing when Obama arrived on the scene. He has picked at a healed scar to make it bleed again. We were a healing nation, but not now. HELLary wants to continue his agenda. Terrorism was punished severely, but now we lead from behind (also known as FOLLOWing). Marriage was a religious sanctity. New life was adored and cherished, not butchered for parts and science. We worked our way through college, perhaps with our family's assistance, not the community's. Health Care insurance was cheaper before Obamacare and covered more of the pertinent services, not birth control and sex changes. Stuff like cancer screening that is now quietly rejected. We had more people in the work force before Obama, people that paid payroll taxes into Social Security. We had half the people we have now on food stamps. We did not offer two years of unemployment. When we took out a loan/mortgage, we honored our commitment, even if it looked like we were not going to make that million over night because we thought house sales were never going to stop going up. And we still gave to charity, and a difference in political opinion was trivial because in the end, we still wanted the same basics.

And yes, America was great. And wishing America to be great again, is much better than the Hope and Change of this administration. We got the Change, but the only Hope we have is that Hillary will NOT be elected. The change was not better. There is NOTHING better that happened in the last eight years. Many have seen this administration's corruption and have also lost all HOPE.

If you want real Hope and real change, the only choice you have is to bet on Trump. He is the nasty tasting medicine that will cure this country. Hillary and her ilk is the poison that is killing America. Liberals should be satisfied that they got everything they wished for. The problem is that it isn't enough for them. They want everyone else to be like them, perverted and needy. There may not be many of the rest of us. The now moral minority. But, liberals need us, not the other way around. We do NOT need liberals. They are dependent; we are self-reliant. They will never be proud. Liberals will always be slaves of the powerful.

Listen to Bloomberg. DT isn't sane.

Yep! Funny story - I was in Germany a few years ago and wanted a soda with ice so I went to a McDonalds. The American in front of me ordered a Big Mac and Coke and was told how much it was - in Euros. He only had a $20 bill (American) and demanded to pay with AMERICAN money! The cashier took the $20 for the payment, smiled, and said "Danke Schoen". The American took the Big Mac and Coke, turned to me and said, "See, American money talks". He never figured he paid about $13 too much for that lunch!
