And even those that are more concerned with spelling than our country are getting the message!

Hey, the common thread here used to be French and then the place got overrun by the English and their friends.

It is the case in every instance of occurrence that there arises a preferred language and it becomes the language of commerce, trade, culture and government.

I fail to see where any other language is challenging English dominance. Remember, the best paid Mexicans anywhere in the US speak English!
