In the interest of keeping this thread interesting, I want to mention that USA does not have an official language. Legally, public institutions have to accommodate any sort of language you could imagine, including Klingon. Conversely, public employees, given they are US Citizens, should not be legally obligated to speak English given the current legal requirement.

Would you support declaring English the official language of the United States? Should there be any secondary/tertiary official languages declared?

I would support declaring English as the official language but at the same time my insides cringe because that would officially mean asinine words in the English dictionary would be "official" as well (Such as ginormous [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ).

But, if public institutions have to accommodate languages then wouldn't they have to accommodate the fact that the small business I work for speaks English? The translation requirements seem awfully swapped here.
