Has anyone else noticed that more and more food products have started printing their labels in both English and Spanish,more and more the annoying "if you wish to hear this in English please press 1", and ast but not least signage in foriegn languages! At the rate things are going.....English will die as our language and the Politically Correct BS will also end America. Instead of coming to America to become American, individuals come to America to be &*(((American and maintain all cultural aspects of their home country at the expense of ours. I feel that if they want to maintain so much of their old life....GO BACK TO WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM. I relize how this sounds but I'm sick and tired of finding I con't communicate in English in my own home country. (BTW I do try to learn some foriegn language when I go to other countries, I don't expect them to speak English in their own home)

When I worked for the gov't people who spoke Spanish as well as English got paid 15% extra. Just think how many tax dollars that adds up to.
Have you noticed the same size fonts everywhere now for both English and Spanish directions/instructions? I was most surprised when I saw that at DFW International Airport.
It is what it is guys. Change happens. Are you blaming the companies that recognize the spanish speaking consumers? That's pretty naive thinking.
As of now, the only people I deal with that don't speak english cut grass, and make beds in hotels. Seeing a foreign language on a product label or hearing a secondary option to listen to instructions in another language isn't exactly cause for concern in my book.

With companies, I don't mind. They do what it takes to make money. But with our gov't having to print everything in multiple languages, I do have a problem. It costs money to translate and it costs money to print.
