Why in America are we seeing billboards and ads in a foreign language? That must stop now!

The US population is not fluent in several languages. Yet billboards are popping up in other languages that are not English. This can not be allowed and will be shutdown.

They must assimilate or get hell out of the UDSA immediately!!!

someone who speaks 3 languages is called trilingual
someone who speaks 2 languages is called bilingual
someone who speaks 1 language is called an American

Art Buschwald writing "Sheep on the Runway" had a great line that claimed "Beware of the diplomate that has the time to learn the language of the country they are assigned to"

spending 20 years in foreign work assignments....thats a very true perspective

Would you give the government this much control over you? If so, you are an idiot.

If you're in certain parts of Chicago, you'll see billboards in Polish!

Yeah but the constitution does not prevent us from not letting more of them in.

I’ve told that joke overseas many times. I ask them the English word for a person who speaks two, three, then one language. They are always stumped on the last one, and makes for a good punch line.

Or British. Nobody from outside of Scotland can understand Glaswegian. Half of England can't understand Liverpudlian or Mancunian. Maybe those count as different languages, but outside of London they don't speak anything other than their brand of English.
