'good'?? in what way? Are you having me on or arguing seriously? I would think it would just cause strife as Spanish speakers began to lobby for "full equality" in all ways....separate editions of newspapers & magazines?...and how would schools be run? Most English speakers would likely object....some VERY strongly, and we hardly need more strife right now. And speakers of 3rd & 4th languages would reall be caught in the crunch!

I would think it would make most sense for ANY country to say "this is our National language. Everyone is expected to be fluent in it."

I know some countries have 2 or more 'common' languages, but how do they treat those for issues like conducting government? (sessions of Congress/Parliament) How does Canada do it? Headphone and translators like the U.N.? The 'official' language of countries is usually reflected in what is spoken on the news programs of radio & TV...I know Germany, with several dialects, has what is called 'Die Umgangsprache', a standardized version that everyone knows, even if it is not what they speak at home.

I am really trying to wrap my head around this idea...but it ain't easy....
