-------------------------

More than 350 languages are spoken at home in the U.S., the Census Bureau reported Tuesday, and residents in the country’s biggest cities are drifting away from speaking English at home.

A staggering 54 percent of residents in the Los Angeles metropolitan region speak a language other than English at home, as does 38 percent of the New York City area, 37 percent of Houston, 51 percent of Miami, 40 percent of San Francisco, and 36 percent of Washington, D.C.

Yes, there are some of us that are multilingual, but many of the rest regard that as treason.

A lot of 'Conservatives'. And far too many.

That's why I carry the sigline I do. And posts like the OP affirm it every single day.

It can't be that low! I would have put it at 80%. Unless the 54% represents those who will not speak English under any circumstances.

Wrong.

Speaking another language at home obviously does not mean "shunning" English.
