Welp, I'm screwed if they do.

Yeah, we've got a couple of regular posters here who have quite a bit of trouble communicating in English, and I'm pretty sure it is their first (and only) language.

¿No habla inglés¿

Are you an Uber driver?

Here in China I have to make sure I have an address in Chinese on my phone so I can show the driver. Normally the driver cannot communicate in English and I sure don't speak Chinese.

English SHOULD BE DECLARED as the official language of the USA. All Federal, state and local business would be done in English. Billions would be saved in cost. To get a drivers license anyone applying must be able to pass a written and verbal exam to prove they can read and understand a stop sign and read road signs. The language of the home country should be taught and spoken in the home so that the heritage of the home country is passed down.

Companies could save untold billions not having to print multiple language labels / instructions on products.

I grew up in a tri-lingual environment, (Swedish, German and English).

I can still hear my Grandmother scolding my Grandfather in her thick Swedish accent: "We speak in English in this house. We are Americans!"

They never once expected anyone to accommodate them in anything other than the English language.

Fine fine fine. I'm leafing.

Come now. You are from Canada where French is the official language of at least part of the country. And the last time I drove in Canada the signs were all bilingual.

Like I said, can we do that here?

Oh, they already do, or at least try to. Most of us just ignore them. http://world.time.com/2013/...n-canadian-province/

Seriously, a lot of small business here wont have anything to do with Quebec "for legal reasons", which is a nice way of saying "**** you and your language laws"
