In Astoria, Queens the first language spoken by most is Greek. Try going into a restaurant there and ordering in English, they will understand but you might get the shaft when it comes to your food. Hell the ATM machines there are in Greek. My point is if you go into an ethnic joint you should expect that the problem Yurt had might come up. Don't like it? Go to McDonalds.

I think its beautiful.

We are a country of mutts, everyone is from some other place. some of us speak English as a first language some of us other stuff, it don't really matter.

And yes I agree that official documents and such should be in English and EVERYONE should know some English but this English as an official language is a joke, there are only about a million other things much more important
