Celebrate Victory on Crispin's Day By Judd Magilnick at The American Spectator
If you’re reading this in English (and of course you are) quaff a pint of ale in celebration of the feats and contributions of English speaking peoples everywhere and stand tall. Should you speak no other language, be not cowed by those who would belittle you for uncouth. Merely remind them of the multitude of times it was an English speaker or an English speaking force that came to the rescue of the world or some little faraway corner of it. Be it cures for disease or despots, English speaking people have stepped forward.
Remember, too, that those who say you are uncouth for speaking just one language, and who often brag of being multi-lingual themselves, learned English as their second language. Would they have done that if English wasn’t such a vital voice for freedom and liberty and dreams worldwide?
