I know, but some people supported by the libs tried hard 40 years ago to make ebonics a second US language but failed back then. As the world migrates towards English, it would be real sad to see the US doing the opposite. Taro

Re: So? Unlike Belgium, the US doesn't have two major languages. LOL... What planet have you been living on? Spanish in the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spanish is the second most common language in the United States after English. According to the 2000 United States Census, Spanish is spoken most frequently at home by about 28.1 million people aged 5 or over. Of these, 14.3 million reported that they also spoke English "Very well" [1]. [The] United States is home to the fifth largest Spanish-speaking community in the world, after Mexico, Colombia, Spain and Argentina([2], [3]). In New Mexico, both Spanish and English have the status of official languages. Although Spanish is not the most spoken language in any one U.S. state, it is the second most spoken language in 43 states and in the District of Columbia. [...] en.wikipedia.org
