  If you press 5 for Finnish it just hangs up the call.

  Give it another year and when they press 2 they’ll get an angry voice yelling at them in English that “'MURICA IS AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY AND ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!! LEARN A REAL LANGUAGE OR GET OUT, LOSER!!”

  In a less idiotic timeline, this would have been a hilarious Onion headline.

  You can say Spanglish, it’s ok. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Except Spanglish is usually used for blended English/Spanish.

      Erm, I’ve always heard it used pejoratively to describe “broken” English-Spanish, not “blended”. 🙇🏽‍♂️

      FWIW, I was being sardonic, not promoting toxic bullshit. To be clear. Don’t use “Spanglish” IRL on my account, please. 😅
