  1. Anonymous, now it’s 60 percent? I see you’ve toned down your racism very little. Yes the US does not have an official language. Another thing you forgot is the FIRST Amendment giving us the RIGHT to FREE SPEECH!!Many latinos speak English. I know that even though latinos that speak English will still be treated like second class citizens by racist people like you. Why are you frustrating yourself so much? After all, life is too short to live frustrated. Why don’t you leave to maybe Canada, or Kentucky where English is spoken and you’ll be less frustrated!! Every problem has a solution. I’m trying to help you out, so you’ll feel less frustrated! Like I said before, I ahve NO problems when people speak other languages,and I try to learn other languages to become a more educated person. I mean knowing another language is not only helpful, but its more fun to be able to communicate with others, opening new doors for opportunities> BYE,BYE!!

    Not true, Florida’s constitution (yes, we have one too) states that ENGLISH is the official language of the State of Florida

    Both parts of this question are wrong. Perhaps 60% of Miami is Spanish speaking but most of them also speak English. Also, the U.S. does not have an official language.

    Frustrating Isn’t it!!

  8. It’s not frustrating to me cause I speak other languages besides English and Spanish. I believe people should make an effort to learn English, but unfortunately some don’t want to learn,and some cannot due to medical,low intelligence or other issues. As a person with an open mind,I enjoy hearing other languages and try to pick up and learn other languages to be able to communicate better with people. Inmy line of work knowing other languages is a plus.
