MY SAY: IS ENGLISH STILL OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE?
Like I mean, like, why does this happen? Just trying to sound current. Here is my rant.
Saturday the mail brought me my new Medicare card which, thankfully, will no longer exhibit the social security number. The instructions were printed in both English and Spanish. Now, I am proud to be fluent in Spanish,a language I learned and speak since my birth. But, I am American and proud to speak English.
The cards was in a thicker than usual envelope because it contained two additional pages in:
Armenian, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Haitian Creole, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, and Vietnamese,…..huh?
How come no Mongolian or Swahili? Where does this end? Living here and receiving all government handouts should come with the obligation to speak English. It did for me and millions upon millions of immigrants. rsk
