Thems some true American ideals there! The founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
We have kind of shot ourselves in the foot though. Now that we DO translate every word in existence in this country, those who speak those languages have little incentive to learn our language which is, actually, an extremely difficul language to learn. Sure, the basics are as hard as any other language, but ours has so many nuances, slang terms, and other such alterations that it's hard for those new to the language to keep up.
Not that I'm saying they shouldn't speak our language. Far as I'm concerned, the whole world should just speak English and we'd be done with it. I mean really. Who speaks SWAHILI?
