English Is not the official language of the US????

Question

I was looking over on yahoo the Olympics and on the main page where it has what countries have won a medals, which and all... I clicked on the US and it says that it has no official language... I was just confuse cause we all live under the impression that the official language of the US is English.... since its dominant over all....

Answer 1

These are great days we're living, bros. We are jolly green giants, walking the Earth with guns. These people we wasted here today are the finest human beings we will ever know. After we rotate back to the world, we're gonna miss not having anyone around that's worth shooting.

Answer 2

Nope, the official language of the US is actually Hebrew.. you really didn't know that?

Answer 3

There IS NO official language in America. We live under the ideal of FREEDOM, and therefore we don't force everyone to speak the same language. Naturally, most people speak English, but that's just because we were ruled by England for such a long time. If we had been conquered by France or Spain instead we'd probably be speaking those languages (i.e. Mexico - ruled by Spain, speaks Spanish; Canada - ruled by France, parts of it still speak French).

Answer 4

We have this body of people in Washington DC called the Congress.  They have decided that it is not necessary to make a declaration of law indicating that English is our official language!  If you have a real problem with this then I suggest you  contact your congressman/woman or senator, and have him/her submit a bill (again) to see if it will be passed this time.

I realize that this seems really odd, and that there is an absolute understanding that we generally speak English here in the USA, but we do not list an Official National Language, however, we do have national pickle day, national dog day, and even more strange, Groundhog Day, but we do not have an official national language!  That is Democracy for you!

Answer 5

dont ask me. i think it is.

Answer 6

Wow, I haven't frequented the language section for very long, but I'm already sick of this question!
