for one thing, it wouldn't be ignoring other english dialects such as spanglish, Singlish, Boston English, ebonics and so many other things that influenced American English.

There can't be a standard English because English is CONSTANTLY influenced. Old english was influenced by Anglo-saxons. Then middle english was influenced by Normans. Finally, Modern english was influenced by both Anglo-saxons, Normans and other languages.

Would making English a offical language contradict the freedoms of America? The freedom to speak what language you want in your personal life? Not business life.

If you move from one country to another when you are a child, how old do you have to be when you move, to never lose your original accent?

Assuming both countries speak the same language, like someone moves from Ireland to the U.S. for example. And is that age different than if you have to learn a new language (example, from Spain to U.S.)?

Just curious; thanks!

Hi, I have some English questions.
1. Laura Bush came to Afghanistan in March 2005(for six hours) "to offer support for Afghan women in their struggle for greater rights," as the New York Times reported, and "to promise long-term commitment from the US to education for women and children." The Times reported that the trip was "more than a year in the planning," WHICH MAY SEEM EXCESSIVE FOR A MILITARIZED P.R. JUNKET THAT TOUCHED DOWN IN KABUL scarcely long enough to terrify the populace, but the president's wife brought promises of help that made headlines in America.
2. In the long, LOCKED-DOWN evenings I start to write this book.
What is a militarized P.R.junket? And what does locked-down mean?
Please explain to me. Thanks a lot!!!

This is a question on HALLOWEEN? First, what is it asking in ENGLISH..and i'm interested to hear your opinion

¿Por qué se ha empezado a adoptar en Latinoamérica un festejo que hasta hace unos años sólo se veía en las películas?

¿En una región donde ya existen fechas para honrar a los muertos, le molesta la banalidad de esta celebración? ¿Hay que resistir esta influencia externa o divertirse y dejar de ser un aguafiestas?
