    The USA has no official language

    I don't think it's unreasonable to think that one day, we might have more than one official language in the US. First candidate is obviously Spanish.

    Just a quick point - the USA has no official language. Our default language is English (those in Great Britain would call it 'American') but we have never had an official legal language.
