Over the course of many years, people have a lot of opinions on English. People have argued on weather to ban it or make english legal. Some people have even blamed the immigrants. Spanish, Dutch , French etc. immigrants come from all over the world wanting to have a better life in America. Unforntely they don't know a word of English. Sometimes the government even alters American things such as menus ,job applications and other things to help out ,but wouldn't it save money nd be eaiser if they would just learn English?
English should be the official language of America for one reason it's America and for many years the language has been English. Why break tradition that's been going on for so many years even decades. Also English should be the main lanuguage ,becuase you can end the years of debates and frustration. Supporters of this also say that English keeps America together. Everyone is connected through one main language. Many others also agree that they can save money. It's a waste of money translating things for different languages. Also many people believed it's the most powerful language on earth.
Although there are many people who support English to be the main language ,there are others who are aganist it. English shouldn't be the main language because it's not English any more. English has been altered and munipulated that you can hardly call it English. For Example slang is a form of English , but in some people's opinion slang is only spoken among certain types of induviduals. Many people are upset by this. English is not a form. There shouldn't be forms. English is one language and only one language. Now these days many are forgetting how to spell the simplest of words. Teachers even use spell checkers. They also mainly built within the confounds of computers systems. Another reason that English should be banned is that more and more immigrants are coming to America. America is becoming more and more diverse and it can not continue to only have one language.
Should English be a law?
Making English the official law would be eaiser.We would save money and there would be no more debates or problems. We must also consider the cons of making it a law. For Example immigrants coming here and who already live here would become raged. Can they help it if there from some where else? In a way making English a law could cause more problems and debates.It seems if we make the language a law that the problem will never be solved.
In conclusion I feel that they should leave English alone. What I mean by that is leave things the way they are. At this point by debating we're only making things worst for everyone else. Immigrants expecially have it hard. They come to America to escape a lot of things. If they already suffering with so much back at home why make it war here too? We should probably make it as easy for them as possible by hiring translators and translating things for them. Learning a language weather it be English or foreign is hard enough and everyone needs help.

IDEAS: You have started to define your topic, but your refusal pick a side leads to a lack of focus. Your support is just stacking opinions on top of opinions. You need concrete examples and statistics. (3)
ORGANIZATION: Your lack of focus/destination led to a confused organization. You have to know where you are going in order to let the reader follow you. You seem to want to follow a problem solution pattern, but you never offer a solution. (2)
VOICE: Your essay loses much of its power because you don't trust yourself. You state many of your points as questions and temper your assertions by saying "probably." (3)
WORD CHOICE: Your word choice so some specificity, and they are all used accurately. You still use too many linking verbs (is, are, was). You should also rewrite parts of it so that you don't use the word "English" so often. (4)
SENTENCE FLUENCY: You do a good job of using a variety of sentences and they are relatively easy to read. (3)
CONVENTIONS: There are multiple misspellings, and you over use commas. (2)
OVERALL: (3) C-
I worked really hard on that man.....
