Because Spanish is the 2nd most commonly spoken language in America.

Yes. I think Avid vastly underestimates just how much more commonly spoken Spanish is than all other foreign languages in this country. It's also the most relevant language to our region of the world.

IMO this issue has nothing to do with an official language. It's common sense. If you live somewhere you learn at least enough of the local language to get by. You can function in the U.S. w/o speaking Spanish. You cannot function w/o speaking English unless people bend over backwards for you. Therefore, in order not to be a drag on society, they should learn English. And, while Spanish is the most spoken, it's not the most relevant. Much more business is done in English and more media is created in English.
