I've read that driver license test are offered in multiple languages other than english. I find this surprising because when driving on the road I have never read any other language on signs than English, so I am a little confuse.
I'm liberal in the minds of most who know my posts, but English should be the only language we use in the US. I'm unemployed right now. I get calls from recruiters with foreign accents so thick I can't discern what job they're describing to me. I won't even return their messages (providing I understand it) even though it means I won't get considered for a potential job. I'm sick of shopping where the signs are in more than one language. It used to be the sign was in English with Spanish subtitles. Now they are on equal terms.
If we don't speak the same language, we are no longer one country. The introduction of other languages is a version of divide and conquer. How can you stand with your neighbor if they don't speak your language?
I also agree that correct English is a dying art. People send emails that are rife with misspellings and broken sentences. People can't even speak without abbreviating words into "textlish". Since when did typing become dyslexic? It's like somebody putting letters in a blender.
Hell, why waste my time screaming about speaking in one language when people don't even bother to use it to communicate in the first place! You can take your LOLs and just SIWTSDS!
So true. It's just the last few generations that have been too damn LAZY to learn the language. YES, that's what I said!
A country with a dozen different languages can NOT go forward. PERIOD. Take a look at the statistics on education in the US VS. other countries, if you don't believe it. We are falling WAY behind.
I notice all the children's shows on American TV now have Spanish built into them, quite heavily. I wouldn't mind so much, but where are all the great works of literature that are in Spanish? What is so important that Mexico has produced, that my child HAS to learn Spanish?? Is learning this going to really help my child, rather than being able to communicate with the illegals who are too lazy to learn the language that has been prevalent in the US throughout its' history?? If this invasion had come from a country that was SUCCESSFUL, and had produced many advances in the world, things would be different. I don't WANT the USA to become like Mexico!! Hell, even the MEXICANS don't want to live in Mexico, why else would they sneak into the US Illegally??? So WHY are we allowing the US to be changed, so it resembles Mexico?? If you want MEXICO, GO there. FIGHT for it, if it is your native country. Quit pussing out, & trying to change another country into the one you are too much of a damn COWARD to DEFEND!!!!
Harsh? Well too bad. That's the truth, and you know it.

I agree, its the dumbest thing they motor vehicles could do. Either have the test in English or make all the roads signs in 30 different languages.

I couldn't agree more, I also noticed cartoons with a little Spanish in them. I just turn it off and wrote a letter to the show .
Its ridiculous they everything in their language.
Also why do they come to the U.S to become Mexican Patriots?
What do I need badly? My posts in this thread, unlike yours, have all been written in proper English.
