I’m going to make a bold, even confrontational, assertion: My English is better than yours.
I’m not saying that it’s perfect. If you dig through my posts, I’m sure you’ll find a grammatical error or two. In general, however, I have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Considering that I make my living as a writer, editor, and copyeditor, I should know my independent clauses from my subjunctive tenses.
In any case, I bring this up to make clear that I have a deep love of English. Having said that, I don’t see why we need to make it our national language.
Now at this point, many readers may object and sputter, “But English is already our official language!”
