Hola , guess if you ban speaking 'foriegn' you won't be ordering any more Tacos, Burritos, Lasagne or Spaghetti from now on ,or even call in an order for a Pizza or could it be that Americans will be able to use these 'alien' words but the folks whose native language it is are the ones forbidden .

seem to remember from when I took my U S citizenship class I was told that after a vote of the Continental Congress , English was decided on as the 'Language of Govt. by a vote of 52% the other choice being German, and that was in the 1770s/1780s.
