I have been hearing things in the press about English as the official language of the US and the debate over whether that can be implemented/enforced. I realized something very simple that actually does make the official language English. This idea holds true in EVERY country on earth:

Whatever language the laws of a country are written in is the official language. Laws are always written in the “official”  language of the country. So that makes ENGLISH the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
