English Authorities: A Threat to America as We Know It

The United States of America is known to the world as a melting pot of cultures. The ancestors of most of today’s citizens immigrated to this nation for many reasons, be it to escape famine, persecution, or just in hope of a better life. Regardless of the reason, they brought with them all of the traditions and languages of their culture. France has had an authority on language for many years, a group who decide what is correct and incorrect in the French language, and recently it has been suggested that America should as well. The US should not have an authoritative group overseeing language, because it poses a threat to the diversity that this nation is built on.
