    US Has No Official Language

    How hard can this be to understand for some of you?

    You can take your driver's license test in almost any language, you can testify in court in any language and the court has to find you an interpreter, for free (which feeds a great cottage industry of immigrants who work as translators). Government documents are printed in many languages.

    Sorry people. That's the way it is. If you want to change it, get a constitutional amendment. That went really well with flag-burning, so you should try with this too. ;)
