Anti-propaganda is another issue, and the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 in my opinion needs to be re-instated.
The official and legal language of our country being universal will make a difference. Not today or tomorrow perhaps, but the clarity of one language does matter. It means that there is no controversy about the translation of say Smith-Mundt and if a given translation is more valid that the English version.
All Americans are free to speak what ever language they wish. That won't change at all.
Tax forms and laws will be in English. OFFICIAL documents will be in English.
Ballet and restaurants will prefer French, Octoberfest will have a German accent still, and all will be well.
This is about the official language, and you still better say thank you to your Granny in her preferred tongue.
