Man such a bastard language. Only reason it's popular is because of the US.

Actually, I believe we can blame the British Empire for that.

The US only took it to the next level.

It would not be as nearly as popular as it is now without the US leading the charge.

Er, no. The US has certainly contributed, but the British Empire spread English far and wide.

Not really, The US is the sole reason everyone is learning English. Think of Spain, they created the language, but Mexicans are the only reason anyone in the US bothers with spanish. Same with english, nobody does it to communicate with the brits, fuck the brits, it's to do trade with Americans. It just happens to have a side effect that you can do trade in britland.
