If you ever leave your anglo speaking homeland speaking the language of the locals even a little can make a huge difference. You have no idea how many people speak no english at all irl

Yes

German, for example, isn't a language. Combining nouns, with some adjectives, to make bigger words with different meaning(s) isn't language.
It's lazyness masked as sophistication. Other languages bothered to invent new words or borrow other words to supplant a vocabulary void or archaisms.


In what universe do you see the world talking in German, or my language, or any other language, but English? Nobody in the world wants to know German, other than perhaps as a courtesy interaction on an ad-hoc basis.
The whole arrogance on Europe's part to "learn my langauge to bother to interact with you" is now coming to bite everyone's cheeks.


English is quick, malleable in pronunciation, less syllables, less conjugation complexity, with some mild inconsistencies in writing.


Tthere's some inner wholesome stupidity with learning other languages but English (exclude pan-languages categories; Romance languages, Germanic languages... that understand each other on a meta level) because, every time the invisible hand of the corporate capitalist forces move every 30 years or so from an economic zone to the other, it's a waste to bother an economic zone's languages when you know it's going to be abandoned in 20-30-40 years' time.
Since we're shaping our market forces to the lowest common denominator in pay – ie. slave labor in all but name – what's the fucking point on learning their language, or them ours?!? It's stupid – talk in english.
That's why nobody really bothered: everybody knew, at one point, they'll have to move production elsewhere on the globe. What are they going to do, learn the different veneer in the Indian subcontinent languages or African-Arabic languages, subdialects?
Do you understand what a waste of time that is, especially when talking about the economy, logistics, production etc? At best – AT BEST – a meagre polite gesture on the whole services sector part?

Be real, do you listen to yourself?

Just to prove an argument.

I don't have at hand but you can trust me if you know what I'm talking about.

There was a study on languages in WWII, regarding communication.
I can't remember the exact median but I think I remember the ridiculousness of it: English-speaking allies took 3-4 seconds to issue an order and the german one a whooping 13 or more seconds.


What a marginal difference in seconds, between 4 seconds and 13 seconds, those 9 seconds make.
Imagine being told that it's a disadvatange to have a cumbersome language that takes time to communicate instead of instantaneous understanding.

the only language worth learning is math

Chinese, Russian and Hindi will be the next holly trinity of useful languages
english will die with the westoids

>Chinese, Russian and Hindi
Anybody internationally useful speaking any of these as a first language uses English as an academic language and lingua franca.
