In a country made up of an amalgam of all the other countries in the world, it makes sense to have a unifying language. Multiple languages divide. Have you heard the term "E Pluribus Unum"? Thanks for the crack about Americans.

People who speak three languages are trilingual.
People who speak two languages are bilingual.

the french spoken here is OK, the way it is ;o) I already kill myself to do bilingual training classes, imagine using terms à l'Académie Française. What are you guys doing in the US when you need to give speaches to anglophones and latinos, at the same time?
