Re: Voting on making English the official US language (Was: "Hm...")

If any language becomes the official language of the United States, then what exactly does that mean?

will we then need a department of the official language, to publish dictionaries and other language manuals, to define the official meaning and syntax of the official language? If we dont, then what does english default to?! How could a non government agency define the official language of the government?

Will people have to take a certification test to meet some minimum standard of proficiency in the official language, to be an elected official, or a public servant (fire / police / nurse / teacher... post office mail sorter) ?

If you dont speak the official language will you then be responsible to hire your own interpreter when dealing with the US government?
