ARE YOU KIDDING ME? English is in now way any better or worse than any other language in the world, living or dead. If you feel that you cannot use it properly to express yourself, then go ahead and move to another country and learn a new language. Why do you think that Americans only speak English??? We are geographically isolated. Europeans are surrounded by other languages and so of course they speak several.
: what's wrong with english?!
: a language of oppression, that is forced upon others who speak other languages. Americans are the poorest in the language department. Americans speak fewer languages than other nations and when we go anywhere we expect others to speak our langauage. How Rude!
