I don't think this Hawaiian Language Month thing is a good idea. I mean, why do we need a whole month just for one language? It's not fair to all the other languages out there. Plus, it's not like I'm gonna be speaking Hawaiian anytime soon, so how does this even affect me? Just seems like a waste of time and resources if you ask me.
