For my two cents...

Yes, by god, if you live in this country, you better be
able to speak and read at least SOME english. Whether it
is declared the "official" language or not... 99% of the
traffic signs are written in ENGLISH! If you are going to
drive, you better damn well know how to read the signs.
Half the problem we have here in our area are the damn
immigrant parents that don't speak a word of english...
so their kids end up running the household. That is a
recipe for disaster. So, yes, if you are going to live in
our society... you better be prepared to communicate with
it. That, or pack up and move to canada (sorry neil).

And a general point of fact: all those that disagree with
me are commies. lol
