I stumbled across an interesting slideshow and spotted something (assuming that it's true, as there aren't any references):
Why is this a good thing? Because at this rate I won't have to learn another language. The Chinese will be able to speak English, many call centres are English speaking Indians (so they're clearly doing a good job at mastering our language over there), most Americans are close enough (sure, they spell things funny and have no idea what we mean when we say things like brolly or shag) and - despite their resistance - even French people can speak English. Hopefully there will be a time when everyone speaks English.
Except by that time, it'll probably be some hideous txt msg based way ov talkin dat no1 else can read. Or hopefully not.
