Press One for English
10th February 2026
This is a short rant.
I’m annoyed when you have to press one for English and two for Spanish when you call someplace. The default should be that you get an English message but have to press a button if you need Spanish. (Actually the default should be that a human answers the phone in English, but we’re long passed that point.)
But at the Super Bowl halftime show, you couldn’t even press one for English. You had to listen to Bad Bunny in Spanish. No choice. So I am told, I didn’t watch it. Could not have been forced to watch it.
When the NFL starts doing a classical halftime, then I’ll tune it. Think how grand it would be to listen to the Triumphal March from Verdi’s Aïda, Handel’s “La Réjouissance,” or Chaikovskii’s 1812 Overture at the Super Bowl instead.
End of rant.
Hear, hear….
