    An official language was not a topic of conversation when the founding fathers founded the USA because the vast (and I mean vast) majority of the people that the constitutional convention represented were of British descent and spoke English. It simply wasn't a matter of debate - even in the former Dutch colonies that had been under English domain for more than a century at the time.

    But I digress...and in response to the comments about modern English, I don't think anyone speaks Ye Olde English unless they are at a Ren Faire, on a stage or reading from the King James.... English as spoken in the UK is as blended and bastardized as any other dialect of English. The closest you'll get to the Queen's English today, other than the Queen of course, is the RP English as spoken by the BBC. And even that has decayed in recent years...
