Telephone language

I think they say they don't know English when it benefits them. It is like ym ex-husband grandmother. She has been in this country more than 40 years and she knows enough English to get by, but if she doesn't want to listen she tells you she doesn't understand. If other people around her know German, she prefers to speak in German.

I go along with that comment. I asked my neighbors kid if the knew the Pledge Of Aligance they asked what was that.I understand some of the older peoples problems with the language but why does my granddaughter have to lose her heritage just because some one else wants to live in ths country. Just how many consenions must we Americans make are we just going to give away our country? We are already making consetions in our schools our jobs in even in our religions.

But you know when I was working at Wal Mart if you said anything wrong they knew enough english to go tell on you. Example a person came up to me and asked if i spoke spanish and i replied NO THIS AMERICA I SPEAK ENGLISH( I guesse he didnot find my respose very funny)But if you short them one penny on their pay or change they dam sure know it and they will tell you about it.

ye but even I was in Mexico and I called some one or a company i was always prompted in English

I have been to many differant countries and have always tried to learn the language that was used and they did not make any conssesions for me or mine.
