Journal tf23's Journal: too much to speak english?

First this Ohio Bar Owner Will Fight To Keep 'Speak English' Sign and now this Philadelphia's cheesesteak shop's sign: WHEN ORDERING SPEAK ENGLISH.

Ohio law says it is unlawful for any proprietor of a place of public accommodation to deny the full enjoyment of the accommodations based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age or ancestry.

It doesn't say anything about "language spoken".

Are these two different? The one in Ohio wanted to require English to be served. The one in Philadelphia, seemingly, is asking for it to be spoken. Is there a difference? Maybe.

But I don't see the problem for either.

If I relocated to Russia (or insert your country here), I'd damned well better learn the language inorder to survive. I don't see any reason that we ask the same here in the US.
