Yes it is.

Wrong. No it certainly is not. While English may be the defacto language of the United States, there is no officially recognized language on the federal level. However, 28 states have passed laws or mandates making English the official language in their states.

Actually, English is the official language of 31 states as of today, and three more are greatly considering it (Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas I believe, and I am sure there are more). It has official status in the country, but not at a national level.
