[QUOTE="jm838, post: 1351049, member: 14147"] I wouldn't, and you have an entirely valid point. I just think everything works better when you stick to one "official" language. It's really low on my priority list, so I guess I haven't given it much thought, but that's my gut reaction. Since we all know how dangerous gut reactions can be, I'll try to think on it a little and flesh out a more developed opinion. Really though, it doesn't matter what our government says. Whatever the most predominant language is, that will be the language of our country, and I don't see that changing from English any time soon. But, once again, it's not really the central issue here. The point I was trying to make was that, regardless of personal opinions on languages, we should all be able to agree that the intent here was not to make a political statement, and the assignment in question was completely harmless.
