以讹传讹真可怕

可能很多人听过这么一种说法，德语差一点就成为美国的官方语言，只差一票，败给了英语。我看了很多资料，事实上，美国根本就没有官方语言！

这是维基上的说法：
The variety of English spoken in the United States is known as American English. English is the de facto national language of the United States, with 80% of the population claiming it as a
mother tongue, and some 95% claiming to speak it "well" or "very well".^[4] However, no official language exists at the federal level. There have been several proposals to make
English the national language in amendments to immigration reform bills,^[5][6] but none of these bills has become law with the amendment intact. The
situation is quite varied at the state and territorial levels, with some
 states mirroring the federal policy of adopting no official language in
 a de jure capacity, others adopting English alone, others officially adopting
English as well as local languages, and still others adopting a policy
of de facto bilingualism.
