When and under what circumstances did ENGLISH first become our universal language?
It used to be that French was the international language of diplomacy. But on July 4, 1776, a new guy took over. Now everybody respects the country that commands respect. Even the British can’t keep up with the English language that America has put around the world, by it’s economic and business dominance, the commerce which moulds and controls every culture and ethnicity around the globe. There, I said it. Economics is power. Don’t hate us for ruling you. Just buy and sell more stuff, and submit. Our language will become yours.
