xenophobic jerk
Apr. 28th, 2006 06:29 pmI think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.
might as well say "English -- the language the Bible was written in". Because Francis Scott Key has the direct line on the Original Intent, dontcha know.
I wonder if he's upset about the modifications to the melody too?
ETA: Erik Bakovic has more on Language Log.
Thank you
