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

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!!"

You can say Spanglish, it's ok. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Except Spanglish is usually used for blended English/Spanish.
