Opinions ?
I have read the discussion here on the con's, and have not seen any of the pro's.
I like it. We should get past the supposed political incorrectness and see it as /easy/, /visual/, and /obvious/.
I live in South Africa - predominantly English, but with significant other languages, and (for example) a nascent Afrikaans encyclopedia.
What flag for Afrikaans ? Maybe the beautiful new South African Flag ?
Sigh - visions of panties getting into a knot.

I do not think North Americans mind it being the British flag.
It is just a portal - moving you quickly on to your destination.
Cheers, Andy!
