THIS.

The most common foreign language used by native speakers in this area, and most of the United States, is Spanish.  I don't just choose to use it - I HAVE to use it regularly.  I had to speak Spanish on Friday and on Sunday.  I cannot imagine a sitiuation requiring use of French to get by anywhere in the US except a resturant.[/quote]

You shouldn't ever HAVE to speak Spanish in this country. While we don't have an official language, we have a dominant one, one that has been used overwhelmingly since our settlement. [/quote]

Spanish will only be needed for social service type jobs.  French looks better for college.  Plus the field trips are better. [/quote]

Funny GOP ladies, you realize that Spanish is heavily spoken across all SES levels in the country's 4 most populated states (CA, TX, FL, NY), and that colleges are way more interested in the Latino and Spanish-speaking world than in the Francophonie, correct?[/quote]
