A few months back I was looking for a book on Amazon.com. The search turned up lots of titles in various languages. While I've always enjoyed learning different languages, I am only fluent in English and wanted to narrow down the search to titles in English only. I thought for sure the advanced search option allow me to do this, but was extremely disappointed to find that Amazon.com has only two language options on their advanced search on their USA website, "all languages" or "Spanish."

I've since sent Amazon.com a few emails which clearly point out this unfair bias against and insult to Amazon.com's majority of customers who are fluent in English and not Spanish. But as of today there has been no change. While this topic is not as serious as today's news of the plot to attack one of our military bases, involving Al Queda and Mexican drug cartels, it's something to keep in mind when shopping for books during the holiday season that's so important to businesses.
