Instead of this confusion, we need the unifying force of an official language, English, which is the language of success in America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
English should be our official language. Reading and speaking English are requirements to become a citizen.
Our government should speak a common language with the American people - plain English.
Despite overwhelming support for the United States to adopt English as its official language, we have still not taken that important step.
It might be inevitable that we have to confront the idea that our destiny is to be one world with one language.
America is a collection of people from different races, religions, and backgrounds - that is part of what makes us great. But a common language is what brings all of those people together to form a community.
English, once accepted as an international language, is no more secure than French has proved to be as the one and only accepted language of diplomacy or as Latin has proved to be as the international language of science.
English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
To become an American citizen, we require people to read, write and speak in English. That is to help them to assimilate in our melting pot, truly to become Americans. We mock that when the cherished right to vote does not involve English any more.
