85. why shouldn't the citizenship test be given in any language?

Seriously, I think that the lack of an official language is part of what sets America apart and makes it great. Sure, I only know English, and my non-English ancestors who moved to the US learned the language eventually (at least in part), but I think moving towards having an official language would really be a downfall. Despite the many ways that the US falls behind most first-world countries, we have some things going for us, and I think the kind of flexibility that not having an official language affords is one of them.
