I got an email a few days ago from one of the banks i do business with. It read something like privacy notice and language practices now. I decided to read it and to my astonishment it said that from here on out they would only communicate in English.
Is this a company simply cutting costs? Or is it a sign of the good times coming? I dunno but i found it interesting
Believe me, I understand the practicality of it. It’s not difficult to run into 7 different languages in a single day, anymore.
Our multilingualism as a country does date all the way back to the founding, however, and the law itself, generally applied, could very much be one of those “make me” kind of laws.
Now if someone wanted to make it so that the federal government only offers services and forms in English, and that only contracts written in English are recognized as legally binding in court, that would probably work.
