Amazon NowNow Gives Politically Incorrect Answer on Where To Learn Spanish
The Amazon Kindle mobile reading device comes with their NowNow service included, where you can ask any question you like and you get a response from a paid human researcher. I asked a question and got the unexpected answer below.
I do believe this was an honest mistake by a researcher trying to be helpful. NowNow is a very useful service.

NowNow, let us be politically correct :-)
If they had said instead a Spanish or Mexican restaurant, that would have been acceptable, but in the back of any restaurant? That’s presumptuous.
If you’d like to suggest a better answer to my question about learning Spanish, please feel welcome to leave a comment here.
