Ah. Point taken.
Hold on to your hat. I agree.
Though I appreciate the sounds of other languages, and I have no objection to people speaking them (and I wish I could understand more of them myself), the language of government in the US is English, and will continue to be English.
English is a wonderful, flexible tool. I have no interest in changing it for any other language for any reason whatsoever. Even Lafayette spoke English when he was here.
If people are merely reacting emotionally to some English-only unilingual rube dissing their language, though, the rube will have to get over himself. Every language has its literature; we can learn things from all of them.
