Let's see...the Constitution is written in English, the Declaration of Independence is written in English. Our Congress communicates in English, our Supreme Court writes it's opinion in, you guessed it, English. Our military communicates in English, NASA communicates in English. Everybody I know communicates in English. The Internet seems to be dominated by English. I guess it does seem kinda weird that all states don't give driver's license tests in Ten Different Languages! That only seems reasonable , doesn't it?
I know - isn't that strange? I can understand Spanish, which is evolving into the next Universal Language, but Farsi?

I did a few quick searches but couldn't find much.
