The US does not have an official language. As a native English speaker and a native US citizen I am a bit distressed by this. I don’t want to end up like Switzerland, which has four official languages.

Why has this come up?

Well, I looked up the ballots for the Texas vote on November 8. They are in English and in Spanish. I am told in some places they will also be posted in Vietnamese.

I think we need one language. And I’ll even learn Spanish if that is going to be it. But I wish we’d decide soon. If it’s going to be some other language, I want to get busy making sure my sons learn it. (And myself as well.)
