I was going to reply in putting that crap into italics and couldn't do it. Deleting it using
Backspace had to be done left to right. My cursor now has a dot near the top I can't get rid of.
You've dhimmied my computer! ;-)

I work with a former Army Arabic translator who wrote that message upon my request. Translate it on Google.

There is a sub shop here in town that has a “Please order in English” sign. They also have another sigh which I applaud, “Please do not talk on a cell phone when ordering.”
I asked the owner about the cell phone sign. He said they were remaking way too many sandwiches due to the confusion of the customer talking to his employee and into the cell phone at the same time. Good for him!

Press #1 for extra cheese.
Ah, it's been about 15 years since I had one of Geno's famous Cheese steaks.
One of the best in the country.

It’s a victory, no doubt. But it’s an ugly thing that a man should have to go before a commission and abide by their whims about how he runs his business. The principle should not be that we have to persuade these agencies to rule correctly—the principle should be that they don’t have the right to be ruling on these matters at all.

From the link.. The Rev. James S. Allen Sr., the commission chairman who filed the original complaint in June 2006, said
he still contends that the sign was discriminatory,"but I accept the opinion of the panel." He said the full commission was unlikely to appeal the three-member panel's decision.
BTW the other chairperson on the commission is Rev. Ralph E. Blanks . Does that make Philadelphia a Theocracy?

...they don't have the right to be ruling on these matters at all. Bingo! I recall when some restaurants posted signs informing male customers that a jacket and tie were required. Some, if not all, kept these items on hand for customers' use. If anyone ever took the owners to court for discrimination, it's news to me.
The same goes for "no tanktops" or "no bare feet.
The PC busybodies see themselves as the do-gooder, holier-than-thou caste of American society...the enlightened ones.
They deserve to be told, Get lost!, whenever they're moved to stomp on those who don't agree.

Hmm ... something is wrong with it. Maybe i’ve got two better alternatives.
‘This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK AMERICANISH.’
or
“This country once was occupied by ENGLAND : WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.”’

I don't like their cheesesteaks — they're tourist food — but I'm going there next time I'm in the area. English is the lingua franca.
The Good cheesesteaks all moved out to the suburbs years ago.
