Just heard someone say:

"English speakers are, like, the United States of language"

Yeah. I don't totally know what this means or if it makes sense but it's also true.

@futurebird I think that they are demanding in that they expect people to conform to their standard. Speak my language, follow my culture. If not you're either wrong, difficult or at least 'different'.

@futurebird Reminds me of the United States' colonialism. 😎

Yes, British #English as foreign language is also my way communicating with people in different countries, but I'm happy to speak other languages to join people in more corners of the world. For the future, we should not only learn Spanish but Chinese!

#languages #LearningLanguages

@futurebird The only way this statement could be improved would be to start it with "No, yeah".
