      These are people who whine about “For English, press 1.”

          Or they resent being reminded of Arabic numerals.

      Some people are just stupider than you would like to believe possible while still not forgetting to breathe. My father is one of the idiots that moans about “For English, press 1” or feeling slighted that people around him have private conversations in Spanish when he doesn’t speak it. Out of all the states, where does this idiot move to for retirement? Florida, famously known for its lack of any Spanish-speaking population, of course.

    He’s just mad that he doesn’t comprehend the 200+ ways people are constantly calling him a massive piece of shit. A big reason why he had to leave NYC, aside from all the civil and criminal cases against him.

    Just because you can’t speak Spanish doesn’t mean nobody can, you insufferable twat.

    ‘Languages Are Coming Into Our Country’

    Even if you don’t understand them, they’re probably still more coherent than Trump’s recent speeches.

    Trump: People who don’t speak languages.

    He doesn’t know that this includes him, does he? Unless “what fucking bastardization of the English language is this?” counts as a language.

      Languages grow and evolve with time.

      Not all forms of evolution make sense or provide any real value.

      Like Trump.

    I guess English isn’t a language in the same way that male isn’t a gender and white isn’t a race and hetero isn’t an orientation.

    Happen to catch his bullshit bc YouTube has decided I like political news bc I clicked one John Oliver video, and that I must want to hear his voice after avoiding it for 8 years… The best part was “languages we don’t even have translators for! We don’t even know these languages!”
