One good reason to learn english is so you can tell the op to shove his language where the sun shineth not.

Funny troll. I'll bite just because I'm bored.
English is actually one of the HARDEST languages to learn...We have so many words for the same things, so many words that sound the same but are mean completely different things, and there is just so much slang it'd be hard to decipher what one is really saying.

thats the best thing about english. lots of languages actually have these silly regulatory boards and such, there technically is no 'official' english.
thats what makes it flexible |

actually, ive heard that the english language is more difficult to learn than most other languages, alot of the reason being because we use words interchangibly alot, like to, too, and two, or read and read,
plus the way we spell alot of our words can be confusing

No you've got it all wrong....
Everyone should have to learn to speak languages according to the exposure that they could have in the area they are in, so if europe, English, German, Spanish, Russian. In the states it would be English, Spanish, French.
Or at least American schools should require people to be bi-lingual.

i might support this (the bolded)
we may not appreciate the mexicans hopping the border in droves illegally, but would still be helpful if we needed to help them like in an emergency or something

Well they do kinda but in it's current state it's really weak, well at least when I went to school. In Jr. High I was required to take like a semester or 2 of another language but the only one offered at the time was spanish. That stuck in my head for about 2 months.
In High school I wanted to take Japanese but we didn't have enough people sign up to offer the course so I got stuck with German, but I'm slowly losing that as well because I don't speak to any germans on a regular basis.
Reminds me of a joke my dad told me the other day:
What do you call a person who knows 2 languages - Bi-lingual
What do you call a person who knows 3 languages - Tri-lingual
What do you call a person who knows one language - American. |

English is an easy language to learn basic things because of lack of structure and rules... but when you try to properly learn it, its the most bastard language around. English is pretty damn popular because of the internet and American/UK influence, that is all.

lol I laughed at the joke...
I only had to take 1 year of spanish which was the only language offered at my high school. Ive opted to take 2 years of Japanese Language on top of independent study at my University, but I really wish that they gave a better starting point... Why aren't we getting near free language instruction from the time we are little for both english AND spanish or really any other language.
Theres no reason for people to not be bi-lingual as its fairly easy to learn two languages when your young providing you have the access.

English is hard to learn because it's pretty much three languages rolled into one. You've got the latinate part, the germanic part, and a sprinkling of Viking (especially oop int' north). ____________________

I fully endorse the views of the OP, and with good cause.
English is the perfect means of verbal communication.
With a word for everything (except the back of your knees) and no room whatsoever for misinterpretation and misunderstanding. It is inevitable that at some point, any and every advanced culture will discover it for themselves and adopt it.
Ever wonder why Kirk and friends can blat halfway across the universe and run into alien societies who have never even heard of Earth, and yet speak perfect English? There ya go... incontrovertable proof.
The defence rests.
