(my comments have nothing to do with the language issue addressed here....but....)
I have this fantacy of taking a huge dump truck and filling it with junk mail type things, and dumping it in the front of the HQ of one of these companies that send me stuff that I have never used, dont want to use, and have no interest in their product, but they have to send me stuff every other stinking day....thank you for letting me vent.
Just throw the flier away and move on with your life. If you get angry or offended at this kind of innocuous stuff, you might need some professional help or mood altering medication.
You forgot to add that you hope I can't reproduce...
I understand, though. How dare anyone feel annoyed by things? We can't have that, can we?
BTW, of course I will just throw the flier away and move on - doesn't change the fact that I find this annoying... If you'd like, we an continue this thread in another language - it obviously is not important to have a shared one.
I just got the Spring "Journal" and mine is in English, no Spanish at all. It may have been sent to you in error as one time the doctors office sent me a letter in Spanish.
If you havent noticed, many of your fortune 500 companies doing business in your communities are providing their customers with maunals or instructions in English, French and Spanish. Many of the products in your homes are labled in both Spanish and English.
I often see ads on buses (usually for McDonald's) that are entirely in Spanish or Chinese, but it's never occurred to me to get bent out of shape about them.
Funny that you mention this. I am rather sure that those who would normally be unhappy about stuff like a private business putting their fliers in Spanish are also the ones who would be unhappy about anything else that is possibly infringing on a businesses rights and praise business friendly attitudes.
I guess when things don't go how they want though, it's a different story.
If it was a worthless pursuit, they probably wouldn't do it. We are a changing nation...we are becoming more diverse (something which I really have no problem with).
Once this proposed amnesty hits, we'll be really "diverse" for sure. Maybe BJ's is just gearing up for the obvious inevitable. I mean, hell, if they refuse to learn english now, what will be the point of doing it after being rewarded with amnesty?
Huh, I was thinking something completely different reading the title.
