Official languages are governmental masturbation. Completely pointless and stupid. People are going to communicate how they communicate, and business will be done in the language it needs to be done in.

The example he gave (sternly) was, “We cook dinner, you FIX it.”Ah, yes, Australia! The world's epicenter of haute cuisine where they cook green salads, gazpacho soup and ceviche cocktails. And butcher the English language. lol
I prepare dinner.

“American is the official language.”
There isn’t an official language on the books in the U.S. However, English is the U.S. language of business and the language of social interaction as well. And, English is the international language too. The only language that’s necessary to be fluent in when traveling internationally is English. The exception of course is France; the French despise the English language. I have seen them play ignorant to English when in a restaurant just to be jerks - the one thing that the French excel at.....

Why is it that so many who claim to have passed the citizenship test can’t speak a word of English?

Government just wants to get stuff done. California has been “officially” English for 30 years, and how many languages are their ballots printed in? But somebody thought it was cool. AZ passed ours 2 years later, hasn’t changed anything here either.

This needs to be rectified. The founding documents are in English, therefore English must be the official language.

Exactly...The government (especially the socialist side) doesn’t want the citizenship requirements followed or they would never get anyone elected to major political office....

actually, German was a very popular language in early America, and indeed was the second-most spoken language until after WW1

Always my preference too!
I also make dinner, bake dinner, nuke dinner and find dinner.
To be an American is to be flexible and creative!

I’m surprised the CA Dept. of Transportation hasn’t added Spanish to the street signs.

Seems to me that, by this law, we declare English as the official American language... Out West, many new citizens are sworn-in in Spanish.
