    English is the current lingua francia because the dominant nation has been speaking English for the past two hundred years and created a pop culture market

    Cute that you think it’s the U.S. and it’s little movies that are responsible for English being widely spoken, and not the bloody history of British imperialism being forced on half the planet

        You alluded to the US imperialism of the past 200 years, but not the British who have undoubtedly done more to spread the language
