Now just why the heck do I have to press 1 for English?

Jessica

Because the idiots in charge think we have to accommodate the non English speaking people here - so there has to be extra options... like press 2 for Spanish. Whatever happened to Immigrants coming here legally and actually learning the language?

no nickname

Maybe the place you called is owned by a hispanic.

Zoe

Who really knows?

You should be pressing 1 for native american since you stole the land from the "savages".....

bullwinklejmoose

In parts of Florida you press 2 for English!

KiteGirl

Because a lot of people speak Spanish and other languages now. Though I will admit sometimes it gets annoying

There is no official language in the United States in the lawbooks. No federal law exists to this point, as far as I know, but I'd love challenges to the contrary. The colonists spoke all kinds of languages, not just English. Not much has changed.

Stomp

Because the world of high technology reigns! Remember when a real warm body use to answer? There was no need for it then!

AA Pilot

what ever

So the person on the other end can go find someone that speaks English.

Kikyo

if you think thats bad, move to Arizona where you have to press 2 for english.

GoldenLocs

This is a damn Shame! There are some companies and government agencies where you actually do have to press #2 for English!!

Frank R

And you wanna know why ya need to press 1?

DispatchGirl

Because they have different languages and if you want it in English you have to press 1?

Remember if you speak the truth these days youâ€™ll probably be branded a racist!

In reading most of the answers, I once again am assured that the majority of Americans feel about the same way. I encourage all of you to e mail your representatives. It doesn't take long. They will listen..you are their meal ticket...they work for you...to REPRESENT you...tell them to stand up, close the freaking border, account for the illegals, deport them out of our prisons, get them off our welfare rolls, modify the 14th ammendment, etc.

shy_angeleyes01

Because 20 Million Illegals REFUSE or are to Stupid to learn it.

Rat P...

so that the ACLU doesn't sue you for being a jingoistic racist!!! i'm surprised they haven't thrown a fit because English is "#1"... that's just so Ameri-centric!

Make you realize that English is just that improtant, always #1 key.

Grist

You didn't have to call to begin with.

Redknight

That is because people are afraid to stand up for themselves.... as far as I know, English is the offical language of the US, not Spanish, Not German, etc.....

Meme

Whatever!

LDYBLK

because in the future you'll need to be ready to press 2 for english.

Cassiopeia

You're the all knowing maniac, why don't you tell me?

Morag

Because American business CEO's haven't done their homework and realized this pisses off Americans, call these companies and complain.. I do....

allen p

I wouldn't mind if they offered German or French as well. What bugs me is that it is just English and Spanish and sometimes Spanish comes first.
