The idea actually makes more sense in Atlasia than it does in America, although both are appropriate.  For now on, someone cannot try to just start printing ballots in Spanish or another language to try and deliberatley confuse people.  It also allows us to save money on translators and bilingual printing.  The idea makes perfet sense

Look, you're not getting something crucial.  This is an English forum.

You just pretty much destroyed the case against this, on your own.  Whatever the ideological reasons to support or oppose this in real life, it's absolutely unnecessary on the forum.
Then bring it to a vote immediatley if you do not think that we should be wasting time debating it, however, it is important that we stop the ridiculous practice of having other acceptable languages.

What the hell are you talking about?  No one uses any other languages on this forum.  Do you really need a bill to tell the SoFA that he can't print his ballots in Swedish?  You are a joke.
It extends beyond that, it goes beyond forum affairs and into the daily lives of Atlasians, we should someone fund bilingual things?  It makes no sense.  It would protrude on private business either.

If a local government operates in an area where the majority of the population doesn't speak English, they should provide information in both languages.  Why wouldn't they?

Anyway, this is completely useless from a forum affairs standpoint.  Doesn't save anyone any money.  Why would you ban the printing of health vaccine alerts in Spanish in Cuban-American communities?  This just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Do you have an argument other than "this does not make sense"?  The bill makes it imperative that people learn English when coming to our country.

Due to the threat of a veto, I withdraw the bill as it does not have the support to overcome that
