'This is Alabama; we speak English,' governor candidate says
Amid a national debate over Arizona's tough new immigration law, Republican Alabama gubernatorial candidate Tim James (and son of previous Gov. Fob James) vows in a new campaign ad that if he's elected, he'll give the state driver's license exam only in English, as a cost-saving measure.
"This is Alabama; we speak English," he says in the ad. "If you want to live here, learn it."
It's not clear how James thinks the change would save the state money. Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic says Alabama could actually lose billions of dollars in federal funding if it enacts the measure, and he points to an Alabama political blog that runs down the legal history for why the exams are in multiple languages....

I thought you'd got them both in the isolation ward? Don't tell me they got out and managed to watch "The Great Escape" starring Steve McQueen in the leisure lounge, thereby gaining inspiration to dig a tunnel and rejoin civilisation?

Ah, Randy, you should have pointed out that Tony's history was also flawed, the Puritans used GOD'S WORD'S UNCORRUPTED BY THE PAPIST CHURCH! -- The Geneva Bible, NOT THE CORRUPTED ANGLICAN VERSION, THE KJV!!!!!! to copy Tony's style.

Tony, you're very first sentence was correct, except America has gotten rid of Elizabethan English. We have separated ourselves from English Literary Imperialism for over a hundred years.
Tony, you have brought up a good point about using the Bible for learning English. Aside from the fact that the AV has flawed theology, it would not be as good as the NASB for learning English. I have never realized what good material was in, Comparing Bible Translations, it has this excellent section, Comparing Bible Translations:...English Style.
I am a latin american, I speak spanish. If I am going to live in the USA I have, I ought, to adapt myself to the country that is receiving me. To obey its laws, learn its history, respect its symbols and so speak its language: I have to learn english and that is a show of respect and gratitude. Greetings from South America PS: Sorry for my english

The AV is alright if you want to become a Shakespearean actor. from the, The American Standard Version Preface No, the NIV or the NASB would both be be better Bibles to be used to learn English, not 400 year-old literature.
Would you guys please keep that discussion on the translation forums. This is about what is going to be the official language of America and it's several states.

Evidently, "Jim Lincoln" Can't Read Proper English--Or Hasn't Read My Previously Posted Comments On Another Thread:
"SPREADING THE WORDS: THE KING JAMES BIBLE:
(1)'DL MOODY & THE FUNDAMENTALISTS Of HIS Day REJECTED The WESTCOTT-&-HORT 1881 RV--As BOB JONES SR. & THE FUNDAMENTALISTS Of HIS Day REJECTED The ASV--As WE (FUNDAMENTALISTS TODAY) REJECT (The) NASB.
(2)When I Previously Stated "As WE REJECT NASB.", I Was Referring To The "New American Standard Bull-[DUNG]" That's Defended By Many Pseudo-Fundamentalists/Evangelicals As A "legitimate 'Bible' translation !
I Can Still Vividly Remember Back In The Mid/Late 1970s; When The So-Called "King James Only" Controversy Came Onto THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST Scene.
Believe You Me, It Was REALLY THE OLD "WESTCOTT-&-HORT" PERVERTED ENGLISH (RV, ASV, NASV, NIV, Etc.) Translation Controversy--As Exposed To U.S. JUDEO-CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISM By Men Like DR. WAITE & THE JOHN DEAN BURGON SOCIETY: What WE Called BACK THEN & What I Commonly Call NOW "THE AUTHORIZED BIBLE SOCIETY" !
Somehow, Bob Jones Jr., Bob Jones III & BJU Fell Prey To The Religious Globalists' Illuminati-Masonic-"JESUIT" Vaticanus-Sinaticus Alexandrian-Mss NASB ECUMENICAL "BIBLE".' " !
Why, Tony, a lot of what you said isn't even in the [A]nglican [V]ersion. The AV is alright if you want to become a Shakespearean actor.
The American translators of the ASV wrote: The use of "who" and "that" for "which," when relating to persons, should commend itself to all as required by grammatical accuracy. The same remark applies to the substitution of "are" for "be" in indicative clauses, the omission of "for" before infinitives, and the change of "an" to "a" before "h" aspirated. The latter change was made in the English Revision of the New Testament, but not in that of the Old. Likewise we have uniformly adopted the modern spelling in place of antiquated forms. No one would advocate the resumption of the exact orthography of the edition of 1611. The mere fact that in a few cases an older form has happened to be retained constitutes no reason for its perpetual retention.
And The 1st & Foremost EXCELLENT Place To "learn it (The English Language)" Is To Exhaustively READ, STUDY & LITERARILY KNOW The HISTORIC ENGLISH AUTHORIZED HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURES:
The "KING JAMES" 'VERSION' Of THE HOLY BIBLE Or Commonly & Succinctly Called THE KING JAMES BIBLE !
Doing This Will STRIKE At THE VERY HEART Of The Satanic-Vatican "JESUIT" Goal Of Not Only Destroying The TRUE & Historic "Protestant" HOLY BIBLE--But It'll ALSO Give The Roman-"Catholic"-Cults' ILLEGAL-ALIEN & CRIMINAL-IMMIGRATION CONSPIRACY A Deadly WOUND Of Which They'll NEVER Recover From Here In THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
THE LAND OF THE FREE & THE HOME OF THE BRAVE . . .
"OUR FATHERS' GOD TO THEE,
AUTHOR OF LIBERTY,
TO THEE WE SING--
LONG MAY OUR LAND BE BRIGHT,
WITH FREEDOM'S HOLY LIGHT,
PROTECT US BY THY MIGHT:
GREAT GOD OUR KING !"
Yes, We In PLYMOUTH PILGRIM COUNTRY (Hint: THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLIC OF THE U.S.A.) Have A King;
An ETERNAL King:
KING JESUS !
And WE Are Spiritually, Psychologically & Physically RULED, REIGNED & CONTROLLED By HIS ETERNAL CONSTITUTION:
THE 66 BOOKS OF HIS HISTORIC AUTHORIZED ENGLISH HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURES !
THE KING JAMES BIBLE !
