Test Your Business English General Usage

According to Marcus Cunliffe, in The Literature of the United States, a chauvinistic
delegate to the Continental Congress moved that the new nation drop the use
of the English language entirely; William Morris, in Newsbreak (Stackpole, New
York, 1975), reports that the more violently anti-British leaders moved to reject
English as the national language in favor of Hebrew, until it was pointed out that
very few Americans could speak it; and another delegate proposed an amend-
ment providing that the United States retain English and make the British learn
Greek!
