Would anyone really be pissed if America declared a language, obviously English?
Answer:
Yes, those people that would have to start conducting their business in English, those people that would have to deal with Government services in English only, and those people that feel entitled to come here from somewhere else (no matter where it is) and continue to speak their own language and who also refuse to learn English.
Why, It is what we speak in America. Seems logical.
Nope. I would not be angry at all. It makes sense to me.
I wouldn't care if they declared Japanese our language. I have better things to worry about!
If you mean English as the national language, I would love it! La Raza and the ACLU would raise 9 kinds of hell.
Not at all...
Que????
Mostly those who want Spanish to be on the same level as English
I wouldn't be but I can't speak for everyone.
“And while you bring all countries with you, you come with a purpose of leaving all other countries behind you – bringing what is best of their spirit, but not looking over your shoulders and seeking to perpetuate what you intended to leave behind in them.”
President Woodrow Wilson, comments to new citizens, 1915
“We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house.”
President Theodore Roosevelt
“The United States is enriched by many cultures, and united by a single common language.”

“Language is a unifying instrument which binds people together. When people speak one language they become as one, they become a society.”
S.I. Hayakawa
No, it is the primary language. I'd love it.
