Repoman is on a distinguished road
I'm afraid we as a country might have a lot to do with this. BTW, I agree completely with you both and it irks me when I see government signage in other languages like they are almost promoting it. Also, most companies contribute to this as well. Companies actively pursue minority business and not by teaching them how to speak english but by speaking their customer's language. Most companies go as far as to translate their forms into other languages to make their customer feel comfortable. Also, try to get a sales job these days w/o being bi-lingual . . . you will take a back seat to the bi-lingual candidate every time. So it seems that we as a country are creating this monster. It's gone even further than just language too . . . we don't say the pledge of allegiance anymore in school, do we? Probably because of the word "GOD" in it. Also, I'm sure it's not too much longer before the word "GOD" gets taken off our money. With the road that we're going down as a country, I expect many more BS changes like these . . . poor leadership, no consequences. We're too preoccupied with not stepping on the toes of the minority that we are dropping bowling balls on the feet of the majority . . . there's a phrase for that and it's called "political correctness."
