It drives me friggin crazy when I'm in our checkin room and no one in the room is speaking English. To me it's rude. It's along the lines of whispering. I was taught that whispering in front of people is rude.

Lol. Well they know YOUR language. Maybe you should learn theirs. At least make the effort. Might open up some interesting soccer conversation.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Basic Spanish is not that hard to learn.

I never said I don't know Spanish. I also took it in school.

Oh, and we have plenty of soccer conversations in ENGLISH.

No way though, I'm trying to learn the different African languages or the rest of them. I have been working on one of them though for my daughter's sake.

Opportunity born of frustration.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Maybe we all should learn the Native American's languages, since they were the TRUE NATIVES of this land.

And would I value a bi-lingual driver from Latin-America over Jim Bob from Peoria Illinois? If all else was equal, abso-freakin'-lutely.

In peoria, Illinois, all the white people are working at caterpillar.

Possibly. There isn't an official language in the US, so wanting someone to learn English is something other than appropriate.

Then why is the Declaration of Indepence or the Constitution in English?

 

[bbsam]

Wrong.

The founding Fathers voted English the OFFICIAL language of the United States.

It beat German by 1 vote.

What amendment to the Constitution is that?

 

[realbrown1]

What amendment to the Constitution is that?

At the end of the Constitutional Convention, there was a motion to publish the Constitution in English and German.

It was voted down.

 

[bbsam]

That doesn't make English the official language,

 

[Cactus]

You should learn Spanish and stop being casually racist.

Maybe you should move to Mexico. The sooner the better.

 

[Route 66]

Then why is the Declaration of Indepence or the Constitution in English?

Spanish hadn't been invented yet

Instead of snipping back and forth at each other the guys with multiple routes and Spanish speaking drivers might be doing themselves a huge favor if they checked the regs because I thought I read somewhere in them that a driver has to be able to speak, read and write English in a competent manner.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Because the slave owners/ colonists were English speaking of European decent.

I think that may be for Express because as Fred S says, we are an airline!
