DEAR ABBY: I work with several women who are Hispanic. They are all very nice and I love working with them. The problem is when they are together they speak Spanish. I do not understand a word they say, so I am left out of the conversation. How can I let them know how rude I think this is? -- LEFT OUT IN TEXAS
DEAR LEFT OUT: Say it in English, and if they are as nice as you say they are, they will make an effort to include you.
