Reply #38: No nation's language is set in stone [View All]

[NickB79]

Otherwise, we should all be talking some dialect of a Native American tribe, since that was the language spoken here when white settlers arrived. English was just as much a foreign language then as Spanish is now.

Not giving up speaking your native language and not giving up alliegences to other nations are two very different things. Do you feel Catholics should not be trusted because they believe in the power of the Pope? That was actually an argument made when JFK ran for president, since he was Catholic. Looking back, it was laughable. How does speaking in Spanish make it any more impossible to trust another person than that?
