Should English be the official language of the United States?

[MACAULAY]

Should anybody actually writing a paper on whether English should be our official language be locked away in a mental institution as Dangerously Insane.

I think YES.

 

[miketx]

Oiu.

 

[Auld Phart]

It already is, unofficially.

Everything is in English already, so what's the real issue?

Or are you asking if we should ban other languages from being used, written, and read?

When I dial some places, I get the option to press 1 for English.

Why is it, when I do, I dont' get anyone that speaks English?

 

[yiostheoy]

Well this schooler wants to be able to say "out of X people surveyed Y agree that ... blah blah blah."

Give her credit for comprehending that she needs data to support her thesis topic.

[yiostheoy]

Ja.

I thought Germanic was Jawohl ?!

After changing the First Amendment?

The First Amendment has nothing to do with anything.

So she's a data queen.

The schooler is obviously a high schooler, maybe even middle school.

She is not very clear on how to frame a question.

But give her credit for at least trying, even though she failed.

 

[yiostheoy]

Have you ever tried disaster management when no one speaks the same language?

Actually yes, when underwater while scuba diving.

You end up pointing a lot.

I'm more interested in how you decided the poster is female.

I am writing a research paper on whether or not English should be the official language of the United States. I have provided a link to the survey I created to record answers for my research paper. Your name will remain anonymous. Thanks! English as an Official Language Survey

Feel free to use my moniker name.

It is Greek.

Most of the geeks here cannot read Greek.

Yeah, I think the question is pretty much moot at this point.

It doesn't really matter.

Looks like English as the official language of the USA has only recently ben resolved back in 2006:

At last, America has an official language (and yes, it's English)
