Actually, America does have an official language. It is called english. If you look at the requirements to become a citizen, you must be able to speak, read, and write ENGLISH. Now, is the law enforced? Not very much, but it is there. Speak what you want to at home, or to each other, but if you want to succeed in business and not cater to a smaller population, speak english, and if you want a government job, you better speak english well.

I posted it earlier in the thread. You need to speak, read, and write, BASIC english. There is no definition of what basic means, and if you look at ballots which I assume is an important thing for being able to participate in as a citizen, IMO you should be able to read and understand that and it should be written in BASIC english.
