The LPGA (Ladies Pro Golf Association) now has a rule that states (beginning in the 2009 season) that all players must speak English to play or face suspension. The league cited that it is an American based group as one of the reasons for the decision. There are 120 international players representing 26 countries, with South Korea holding the largest contingent of players (45). Many players including those from South Korea support the policy.

Nashville councilman, Eric Crafton, made a motion to abolish the use of any language other than English in government affairs-with the exception of safeties and emergencies. If passed, Nashville will be the largest city with such a practice in place. Crafton feels that a central language will be a factor in boosting the economy.

Missouri is making an effort to make English the official language of government affairs with Constitutional Amendment 1. The bill would also leave translation services unchanged. Those against worry that the bill sends the message that the state doesn't welcome immigrants. This proposal has no costs or savings to local governments.
