Since English is, infact, /the/ Europian language, why should we be forced to learn French. Or any other Europian language, for that matter...

Well, it is polite and useful. We just don't! It's probably through our laziness that other people speak english.

Well I don't speak French because, quite frankly, I'm c*** at it.

Just to explain my last posting: English is made up of Anglo-Saxon, some Viking (wherever they came from), Latin, French and probably some other stuff as well. Therefor, we are technically /the/ Europian language. Since Europe is becoming one massive super-country, will they all have to learn English as there new first language?

Also, I think that it's partly America's fault (what isn't smiley - winkeye) that English is a widely spoken language. As America is probably the most dominant super-power in the world, their language (well, ours really) is going to carry a lot of importance, and will consequently spread.

Do Americans speak English???

Geez mate that's news to us Aussies!!!! smiley - laugh

Come to think of it .... there are so many accents and idioms one wonders whether the English speak English smiley - winkeye

In Oz we think we speak Australian-English (whatever that is), the Americans speak American-English (ditto) which makes me wonder which form of English is English-English smiley - erm

From http://www.bushisms.com :

"They said this issue wouldn't resignate with the People. They've been proved wrong, it does resignate."

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."

"Drug therapies are replacing a lot of medicines as we used to know it."

"Our priorities is our faith."

"I will have a foreign-handed foreign policy."

"...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas."

"A tax cut is really one of the anecdotes to coming out of an economic illness."

"...I don't need to be subliminabable.."

"The point is, this is a way to help inoculate me about what has come and is coming."

"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness."

"We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile."

"The American people wants a president that appeals to the angels..." smiley - angel

"This case has had full analyzation and has been looked at a lot. I understand the emotionality of death penalty cases."

"We're enjoying sluggish times, and not enjoying them very much."

There are a *lot* more of these quotes... Speaking English? Almost... smiley - nahnah
