actually, it used to be official. A few state representatives (that happened to have been ancestors of illegal hispanic immigrants) introduced and pushed through a bill that repealled a "national language" on the grounds that an official language wasn't "fair" or something like that.



Uhm..., There has never been an 'official' language of the Unidted States. There was however a national vote for a national language in 1894. The language that won was German, with English comming a third. Due to the closeness of the vote as well as other political factors, the results were abandoned and instead the US choose to have no official language.
