Reply #6: English should be the primary language for all printed materials

[WLKjr]

The Government shouldn't have to print tax forms in other languages, they are already too difficult to understand!

America's melting pot isn't really a melting pot anymore if people do not assimilate langauge enough to understand it and converse with others, I and everyone else should care less what nationality they are, and whether or not they speak english in public or not. The problem I have is people demanding everything be made availible in other langauges all the time. It really irks me when I call some places and the first option is spanish (not picking on spanish speaking peoples) for a company based in the states.......


We all have a common goal, have common dreams, most of us have common work ethics, why not speak a common langauge?


Officical Language is a bad term, it should be referred to as "The Common Language Standard". Teach multiple languages in schools to younger children but make them understand that English is the standard and they need to be proficient in it becuase official print material, many businesses, and all government agencies use this langauge. Why fight about it anymore past that? There are much more important things to deal with, like getting government spending under control and eliminating the leaks, I am sick of working hard to pay for stupid shit my congress critters decide to spend on. That's for another rant/post though.
