    Again, you misunderstand the question

    Most people that post here with angry comments about articles seem to be posting about something in their heads and not what's on the screen.

    brianhoxie and Brian (possibly the same person there...)

    No one is saying it is to become the official version. No one is saying you or your kids have to sing it in another language. Why do you care if someone sings it in another language? You write as though someone's trying to make you do something different or (heaven forfend) learn something! Nothing could be farther from the truth. If they really want to sing a song about a batle in the mostly forgotten War of 1812 in Spanish, more power to them.

    That was before we started wars with Mexico and Spain, maybe they'll forget that we did.
