Prima Limba a Tarii!

I can see where America is coming with the language of the state mentality. Although, I do disagree a little forcing each person to know English, first off some of the residents speak horrible English. But, my main example comes from a person I used to work with a 57 year old man from Peru, this man spoke broken English, he was able to put words together as best he can. He had been trying to learn English for all 10 years he had been in the states, still he hasn't been able to master it, he does understand it, but can't speak it fluently. I believe because of this America should also give the option of a person being able to use a proxy or someone that already speaks English as well as having English classes. This would be at their own expense of course, I am not the only one that pays taxes =D

It was interesting to see that they have actually introduced the legislation that will start its way through the process of becoming a law. This is ok as long as we don't discourage people from speaking foreign languages or from enriching our lives by teaching us of other cultures. By the way, this post is entitled Language of the Land.
