“Now we don’t ask too much to share this land of liberties,
But if it’s not to much to ask, could you please speak Engleeeesh”?

Someone get these folks a rhyming dictionary. Awful.

If you can get the point across better, go for it.

So why is the White House web site available in Spanish but not Swedish?

Love the pic; however, I saw it with words I like better. He was saying—”Press one for English? The HELL I will!”

Well, they shouldn’t have put the word English at the end of a line. The stress is on the first syllable, making it a tough rhyme, even if you tried rhyming, say, “wish.” It’s ENG-lish, not eng-LISH. They might have tried:

“Now we don’t ask too much to share this land of liberties,
But if it’s not to much to ask, speak English if you please.”

Although, “land of liberties” is awkward. Isn’t the correct phrase “land of liberty”? The rhyme doesn’t have to be exact. Probably the best would have been:

“Now we don’t ask too much to share this land of liberty,
So if it’s not too much to ask, speak English if you please.”

This is a video that was in the response section. Johnny Cash’s “Ragged Old Flag”, it is a nice compliment to the original song.

Casa D’Ice must have run out of the letter “I” relative to the misspelling of “Immigration”.

I just returned from Mexico and even in Costco all teh products are spanish - even medicine, all the cooking instructions are in spanish so, while difficult, we managed.

If Costco cannot put english instructions in its product in mexico, why must they do it here?
