You’re in luck, ahahah! I don’t know if you knew this, but until March 1st of this year the U.S. didn’t even have an official language.

Does the U.S. have an official language?

Yes. English was designated as the official language of the United States in an executive order on March 1, 2025.

Wow, didn't know that. But if you think about it, not having an official language is really cool, especially English.

It must've been a really nice fuck you to the British empire

If they wanted to fuck the british empire, they would declare US official language as "american" LOL

Hahaha! Yeah, but that’s just a small detail, because in reality all the government paperwork is in English anyway. Government documents are usually written in the official languages.

They should do it on April 1st... Designating by decree an official language is dumb, tyranny in disguise.

The second chart make sense, considering plenty of Americans (76M?) have ancestry or are from Central or South America.

No, is total lazyness... I understand misspelling, I do it myself when I type on mobile (because weak eyesight) but I do not agree with lazyness of this jargon not tying the whole word. THIS IS STUPIDITY. You are dumbing down yourself.
