As of 8.20 AM east coast time today, Friday, May 19, MSNBC has an online poll going showing 75% of the people seeming to agree with the Republicans in the Senate about the English language. The poll is at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/... .
The poll is of course garbage. However, I still would like to see the numbers change. English is by far the dominant language in the United States. It is not threatened. The only reason for taking this "action" is to stir up reactionary sentiment. It is like flag-burning amendments.
I think conscious people should participate in this garbage poll, and select the best of the answer choices available, even though they are framed so as to reduce awareness rather than increase it, as is the question itself.
