You've never heard of it? It's almost required to know Spanish to get into Med school here in Texas. A lot of jobs have someone who knows Spanish given an advantage over someone who doesn't if they have to deal with customers. You must live north of the Mason Dixon line.

honestly i think the ridicule must be being taught officially or unofficially cause so many people use it.

Yeah, it might happen, but whatever. I didn't go the med school route, but I know a few friends who did. I don't need to worry about Spanish being a software engineer (unless I want to listen in to the conversations of a bunch of my coworkers).

Employers requiring workers to speak Spanish is fine with me, as is requiring people to speak English. I know we have a requirement for our foreign employees to speak English who have to work with the rest of the company.
