We have a few different words and a different accent, but Brits and Yanks can still have conversations. If you want to get that territorial, lets say that I speak Generation Y Mild-Accented North Georgian and my coworker speaks Moved From New York Floridian. I mean hey, he pronounces the letter O differently. Have fun choosing your language next time you visit a website or install software.

This country and it's politicians are getting out of hand...What has happened to all "we the people" believe in? What happened to our country? If I went to a foreign country to live, I would be required to learn their langauge in order to survive..I'm sure they wouldn't consider changing their langauge to English...Would they?

The most important is using one language as a foundation for all purposes; education, transportation, banks, economy, and etc. Their are many different forms of English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, and etc. We all have a basic foundation of language in education. When you have one basic language it simplifies everything. After you have been educated using one language it is what you live by. Simplify the US standard using what our fore fathers established. If I move to another country and live, what do I do, I learn the language of the country. The standard language should be English in America.

The standard language should be English in America.

Schools have eschewed proper English grammar and proper speech for quite some time. Our language is spiraling into ambiguous oblivion. We are so used to filling our daily speech with colloquialisms and slang that such things are de facto becoming official. Improper English grammar is something up with which I will not put.
