And, I'm saying that that sword cuts both ways.
English is the de facto national language of the United States, with 82% of the population claiming it as a mother tongue, and some 96% claiming to speak it "well" or "very well".
I'm supposed to cater to 4% of the population. - many of whom who do not speak English wouldn't understand Spanish if a gun were held to their head.
People coming to American should learn English the same as Americans going to other countries should learn their language.
