    America not having any official language is intentional.

    I think English might have been 3rd choice after “none” and French, but it’s possible German was even beating it.

    Just out of principle, they didn’t want to be identified with England by using their language.

    Pre-emptive edit before someone tries to argue English is official:

      Funny that in the spanish version of that page there’s no paragraph saying “The United States does not have an official language” like there is in the english version.
