The issue really is not English being the primary spoken language!

The issue IMO is that all forms state, local or government forms should only be printed in one language and that language is English!!
There should be onl,y one language for DMV tests and that is English!!

As someone who is multi-lingual that is how I feel.
When in Rome you speak Roman..lol

wat?

:hmm:

Absolutely. English should be the official language of the US and that's the end of the story. You can speak whatever language you want with your pals, but for official business and transactions, you need to know English.

Gotta find a way to make those people learn english, pretty damn sure it's easier said than done. Lots of older people don't seem to be willing to pick it up. Like some of my relatives for example.

But TBH I think the problem will correct itself once the first generation immigrants pass away and it's mostly 2nd and 3rd generations residing here.

The rest of the problems would be from those who are then naturalized and granted visa's here.

Still a lot of time till that happens though.. Probably 1-2 more centuries worth.
