English

I don't think there is anything wrong with being able to speak other languages, but if it is your main mode of communication it is up to you to adapt and not expect to be linguistically catered (if you live in the country), me and my family weren't and didn't expect it either. Dennis Baron's idea of banning English seems oddballish. He's not serious. If we didn't have an official language, or a language we should all learn, think of how troubling it would be trying to communicate to a person from another country or community who doesn't speak your tongue? It leads to misunderstanding, frustration, error, guilt, anger, etc.
