You (and others like you) are dooming us to Balkanization.

Without a common language, no country can long survive.

Nonsense. Plenty of countries without a common language have been around for
a lot longer than we have. Even the US has never had a common language and
for part of its history English was a minority language.

You keep insisting that Spanish is a foreign language. In what way is it a
foreign language that English is not?
