If we had an official, national language, that all government business was conducted in, how much tax money would be saved?
How many documents wouldn’t have to be printed in English, then reprinted in another language because the people needing the service were too lazy to learn the majority spoken language of this country?
I say let’s make English the “official national language” and save the tax payers a lot of money in printing fees.

… you would think.
(Other countries basically say; here are our signs, our forms, our instructions… all in our language (French, German, Italian). If you want to come here - learn the language! We are not catering to you.)

PS:
I wrote about this topic last week too. Mine was basically; “You know… if we all spoke English in America we could sit down and have coffee together and become friends!” LOL.
