Colour is the correct spelling of colour etc etc.

To learn proper English you would need to edumacted in England.

Now why would we want to be subjects to the crown again? Do you not remember 1776?

It was HT that changed the name "Log In" to "login". The rest of the world adapted..

Was that the date when the letter "u" was granted its freedom from all writings in Amuuika?

The last available national study was conducted in 1992 by the National Adult Literacy Survey, which found that 48 percent of the nation's working-age population was functionally illiterate.

We're a nation of idiots.

The federal government controls all immigration policies. This illegal alien mess is just another way that Washington screws California.

As an immigrant I agree.

My parents spoke ZERO english when they came here in '98.

By 2000 they had a working english.. of course the accent was heavy some grammatical mistakes and some words they didnt know plus some bad spelling mistakes...but they could certainly keep up and participate in a verbal discussion no problem.

And we talking about 50+ year old adults.

In my own job ive encountered people who have lived here for decades and dont speak english...yet they furiously lobby and complain why the goverment doesn't adapt to THEIR needs. all i can think of is 'wtf?!!'

That is royally messed up. Imo every immigrant should get an english test every 5 years. No pass, revoke greencard or citizenship and ship em out. Theres a lot of good people waiting for the chance to immigrate to the USA and no country needs freeloading parasites who cant learn the basics of the language of the country they reside in.

Its insulting and embarrasing.
