You are the one missing the entire point Bill, not me.   Of course there is a predominant language but the day anyone tries to make it offical is the day you might as well use the Constitution to wipe your ass.

I'm not sure where you live, but if you would like to visit NJ I can take you to towns where there are signs in Korean and the language spoken is the same. There are also wonderful neighborhoods where Spanish is the dominant language and stores, advertisements, radios, etc. will cater to this.    Most law enforcement officials are trained to deal with this. Does it make it more difficult, sure does - but that is the cost of our freedoms.

Your story about your grocery store experience describes your frustration at the store not having someone that spoke English that could help you.   Yet you also said that this woman DID help you and got your groceries charged - yet you still question whether she "cared"???????    Perhaps you were the one that needed a lesson???
