English is more expressive, has more words for more meanings and is more precise

You have two languages in one. You have germanic words and latin words. like brotherly or fraternal. Kingly or regal. standing over vs looming over. Those words have slightly different connotations like for instance looming over can be used in a horror setting instead of standing over, As in a monster looming over you which sounds more menacing than a monster standing over you

Not really. Francophone media is pretty regional and doesn't really "travel" ourside of diaspora.

no it's horrible
there is a big rift between "proper" french and the way it is used in every day life. in fact the majority of frenchmen wouldn't even know proper expression anymore. it's terribly inefficient, and something like 50% of all words aren't spelled the way you would expect them to be spelled.
i went to school in france before anyone accuses me of hating.

Yes, not because I believe French is superior, but because I am xenophobic and would enjoy having fewer foreign armchair activists on the anglophone internet trying to make me care about the struggle of random ethnic group no 734274923 on the other side of the world.

not memeing but english is a far superior language than french. It's ugly and has no personality but it's far more powerful than our language. Objectively I think it's better this way

Just for women. Men should speak Portuguese. Both are the best sounding languages in the world for those respective genders. XYZ-Gendered people should speak a very confusing blend of both.

Hong Kong does bc it’s a British Colony. China doesn’t, and wants to take over Hong Kong and eliminate the British Influence.

no, the pronounciation makes no fucking sense at all
some words are pronounced in different ways, depending on the context (example: "est")

the US is not a small european country with a dying, far away empire of colonies.

America will destroy globalization and force once again a power bloc against China and its allies (does China have allies? Russia is a temporary friend, too big and too close to be an ally).

So you would still speak English in the USA dominated bloc.
