Most New Yorkers I know have a vocabulary over 41 words. Maybe Trump should try to master more of the English language. He could learn, bigly. His thesaurus could be Yuuge.
If you were born here, you speak English by the time you're old enough to call the WH.
If you are an immigration, you're supposed to pass a basic English proficiency test to become a citizen. Acceptionz are made for some, such as refugees, which are a tiny number of people and mostly not speaking Spanish.
Yes, a basic English proficiency test, which means they might not know enough English to understand an entire website. It can take years to become fluent in a language.
My ancestors came from Europe 100 yrs ago and survived by learning English, and if they can do it, so can anyone else.
I doubt they knew perfect English right off the boat if they came from a country that did not speak English. They had to learn English, which can take years.
“The place where I was born and spent my childhood gave direction to all my future struggles. In Bialystok the inhabitants were divided into four distinct elements: Russians, Poles, Germans and Jews; each of these spoke their own language and looked on all the others as enemies.”

My ancestors came from Europe 100 yrs ago and survived by learning English, and if they can do it, so can anyone else. I cringe every time I see a sign that says "Vote Aqui" or however it's spelled. No, I don't care what the correct spelling is, I live in an English speaking country. If I went to a Spanish speaking country, I wouldn't expect to find "Vote Here" signs.
Get over it. There are a lot bigger things to worry about.
It's entirely unnecessary for a website to be in multiple languages when you can translate right on your computer. Maybe this administration just want's to bring things up to speed and take advantage of technology
Plus, why Spanish only if they did? That doesn't seem right.
