JTN:
President Donald Trump on Saturday night signed an executive order declaring that English is the official language of the United States.
The anticipated action marked the first time an official language has been declared by the federal government.
Trump’s order said the declaration would improve the cohesiveness of the nation.
“From the founding of our Republic, English has been used as our national language,” the order noted. “Our Nation’s historic governing documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, have all been written in English.
“A nationally designated language is at the core of a unified and cohesive society, and the United States is strengthened by a citizenry that can freely exchange ideas in one shared language,” it added. more
ya era hora!
Engrish orny prease.
About Time!!
Dat beez a gud ting.
Trump should have done this the first time he was President just to see if Biden would have cancelled it after he got into office.
Congress needs to take this EO and make it LAW!!!!!
Now if we could only get fluent English only operators on customer service calls, that would be a bonus. A girl can dream , can’t she?

Can I still speak Ebonics?
Yes, and mentally ill people cannot force anyone to use their made up pronouns and nonsense words like, “transgender”.
I jut saw on GP that they may print election ballots in English only. Should have done that long ago.
@richard
And don’t distinguish the candidates by political party – no D, R or L.
Most spoken language in the world by far.
I think it’s coming to a point where AI is going to make it so there isn’t a problem understanding what’s being said in any language.
Pre Tower of Babel.
Tell that to the Mexicans.
And the hood rats.
Bin ich voll dafür.
And dump the ESL (English as a second Language) nonsense and make it English as a first Language – EFL.
ESL sounds like the Fed. Dept. Of Education program. Or, realistically, the Fed. Dept. of Failed Education.
