As happens every few years, some zealous souls back to the controversy surrounding the use and abuse of foreign languages in our country. They seem to forget that languages are vital links in our society and that still does not necessarily refer to pervert the use of our common language, English
Return for a moment that day at Plymouth Rock, where the Mayflower had just anchored in the small bay. After attaching the rigging and inspection of cargo lashes, the vessel isrest in peace, when the long trip and no longer exposed to breaking waves and the ominous creaking of the beams, rings and wood deck boards.
The executive officer knocks on the door of Captain Christopher Jones and, after the entrance is, stands at attention in front of the desk, where the captain wants to support the inventory of their activities.
"My Lord, I just got back from the coast. Everything I have found some great and very strange black canarywith a red nose and a nightcap that are rocking the craziest noises. I also met some of the natives, who offered very friendly and signs, we were like a couple of tacos and enchiladas .. "
"Tacos and enchiladas?" Hey, my name is not Cortés. Well, what the locals have to say? "
"Sorry sir, I was able to understand a word he said, and she did not understand what I said. Maybe if you give me permission, I can only feel a little 'Freddie Bartholomew of the people, and canboth to learn our language. Then we can use them as an interpreter .. "
Captain Smith looked out the porthole at the lush greenery that hugs the coast and suddenly, striking his fist on the table and shouted:
"Absolutely not, I will not allow any foreign language on board the ship. Nor is it in the open sea, the official language is English! Tell the Indians that they can return to peddle their fettuccine, if you speak King's English ! It takes little FreddyBartholomew away from the natives! You're fired. "
Of course, that was the end of the Mayflower Pilgrims and their joyful. Within minutes the crew had the barrels filled with fresh water, lifted the boat, lifted anchor and turned into wind energy for the long journey home. No Thanksgiving. N. Pocahontas, and not Donald Trump. Lack of regulation of the new continent, and during the proceedings, none of the great things that make this country great, things like the House of Representatives, theSenate, clever lobbyists, litigation hot coffee, American Idol, the fat girls college football, violent Hollywood films and hamburgers synthetics.
Now seriously. This country has many local dialects, before the Pilgrims arrived. Native Americans have more than 100 dialects, and quite funny, seemed to be a common language base for each dialect. They had problems communicating with each other and allowed the hand and the sign of immediate understanding. For long distances,They used their over-the-air broadcasts of smoke that works well, except in windy or rainy.
The Spaniard, who was here before the pilgrims brought with them a number of Indo-European languages and dialects other than Spanish. Their ships were crewed by Spaniards, of course, but also Portuguese, French, English, Normans, Waloons, Dutch, Welsch, Genovese, Valencian, Basque, Sicilians, Corsicans, Tunisians, Moroccans, and some. All information submitted in Spanish, but between them- How the diaries of the time - who spoke their language. Vera linguistic democracy.
The natives of the New World, liberal as they were, was this smelly, bearded Dodos who landed on the shores of the houseboat dog with the laundry hanging on the top understand. They were also trying to learn more about the big dogs, the stranger on horseback, and why were all learn from how the OZ-dressed.
The natives wasted no time to belearn the language of their guests at a time. In addition, an effort to teach Spanish for the language. Viewers, in turn, wanted to talk to the thousands of semi-clad natives, which can be found everywhere, and then sell them some decent clothes and was in the process, convince them that their God is better than it is from God
Multilingualism has been with us before, so it makes sense that after some centuries, it is possible (some are ignorant, misleadingnot find an appropriate label, perhaps) by the demagoguery recent Goebbelian influenced want to force English as the official language of the United States of America.
It's Like That car is driven on roads and highways that cross the country. When we think about it, we should ask: "What the hell is an official language?" It's like the stopwatch at the Olympic Games? This history of official timekeeper of sounds disturbing. Appears automatically when the measurementis the exclusive property of, and the brand. Actually it is not necessary that anyone can rule out the rhythm. Suffice it to say - for commercial advertising, which sounds better - is the word x as official timekeeper or time of measurement and recording selected (by hand if you're a fan of euphemisms) tool for games.
Same with the language of the country. Everyone knows that English is the language that is spoken in the United States or distributed. While some states have a large part ofSpanish-speaking citizens, it does not hurt damn little bilingual in some of the services that the State has provided its citizens. E 'ridiculous to point out that a few lines on a printed communication, public opinion, the financial health of the state to destroy. At the end of those citizens who are entitled to extra lines to pay taxes like the rest of us.
It 'clear that the new citizens to learn the legal reasons and others, must be English, and most of them. The fact that some ofbilingual education programs in some states are costly bureaucratic empires without regard for the task, which is actually to meet them, is another matter entirely. We have all read about in outrageous salaries and benefits for some of the directors of these programs. We know about the highly contradictory trend that some schools have on their non-English speaking students or for years in classes where the instruction is in their own language. These students, isolated in thisThe natural environment is prevented from learning English. The concept of "transition" is completely in the cases, prostitutes. This step was never designed to stretch a long period, just long enough for non-English speaking children to become familiar with their new environment. Efforts should focus on correcting the situations created by the bilingual policies and the elimination of abuses being committed in their name, Judge.
But back to the pilgrims. EventuallyAgreed to Captain Smith, a part of his team to leave their native languages to learn and teach English. In a few weeks are able to communicate with each other. Once completed this first step, and it was a spirit of general understanding, the pilgrims began to speak good taxes. Know the rest of the story!
