You must be in south FL...not much an issue in 90% of the rest of the state...try SW TX sometime...

The reason you heard that funny sounding Texas stuff is because Florida is a suburb of Dallas.

I have been saying the same thing about LA, not the whole of California. Texas is not that greedy.

I got a little misplaced while in the sunshine state last summer. Stopped to ask directions it was starting to look a little rough. Answer I got was "white boy you better turn around. If you go in there you ain't coming back!!"

I was surprised in Hialeah in January when I had a tough time in the mall and in the Ramada Hotel we stayed in that the staff didnt seem to speak any English at all. It was a very nice looking mall and the people were dressed very nicely, but there was almost no english spoken anywhere.

One of the ladies in our group needed a hair styling and there wasnt a single woman in the hair salon that could speak english.

I knew that spanish was widely spoken in Florida, but I was surprised by the extent of it.

Careful, you may run into someone who says: "Say hello to may little friend!"

Come to Vancouver (aka Hongcouver) ... you'll feel like you're in another country (like China maybe). Every day I ride public trasit to and from work ... don't hear much english being spoken amongs the other passengers but there's sure a lot of other languages.

 

Fortunately tho, there's only a very small segment where there's no english spoken or understood.

When I worked at the truck shop, every truck with a British Columbia plate on it had a Chinese driver who spoke NO english.

Really??? That's odd coz almost every truck driver around here has a beard and a towel wrapped around his head... LOL

I don't know about way up nort, but I thought that in the USA you had to be able to read, speak, and understand English to get a CDL. (Except in IL where it just takes an extra cnote attached to the application:whistling:)
