No Habla Engles, Senior

Living in Florida and working at a hotel I get asked if I speak Spanish alot. Most of the time, though, the person will just start speaking to you in Spanish assuming you do too. This can be a little annoying because, last time I checked, Florida was still part of the United States and English the main language of the land. It's annoying because of the assumption, not because they don't speak English, although many times they do speak English - which is even more annoying.

The point is, tonight I got a very telling call from an Englishman. The first thing he asked? "Do you speak English?" I wasn't expecting that - I should have said, "Si!"
