And yet you seem to have made it till 2025 without a de facto language....

Go figure.

I actually tend to agree with some of those points.

But it still takes all sorts to make a nation, even those that don't speak English. Saint2

Why didn't Trump go to the game?

I'm sure Bad Bunny has people who make sure all his chicas have the proper visas. A sensible business expenditure, in this day and age.

We had one.
All the documents were in English and were required to be.
All the schools taught in English.
All the road signs are in English.
77% spoke English primarily and most of the rest secondary.
It was just made official in a big way in 2025.
But it was always that way.

As long as they are legal ... and as long as they use the primary English for legal documents and schooling and for reading road signs for safety measures (that kind of thing), I don't give a rats backend what they speak on their own. It's a whatever.

Dude made Davos, Switzerland, but allegedly, California was too far away. Saint2

I read he was scared of being booed and jeered. What with his plummeting approval rating and whatnot.

I would have thought most of your US road signs use universal symbols to avoid any confusion or accidents.

Depending on where you are, i don't doubt a foundational understanding of English may help. Saint2
