The thing about it is that English is a (for lack of better phrasing) a dumb language (no offense I am an English Primary person). It's just super easy, there is no stern sentence structure (least not much anymore), words don't change based off of use or gender, and slang eventualy ends up in the dictionary (I HATE AIN'T,especialy when I catch myself use it). I mean there is a reason they teach monkeys and apes to sign in English. I really don't think (and sincerly hope) that English won't become the standard language of the world, I think it's currently a trend and the hot thing. Don't forget there are German and Portugese (amongst others) words used in Japanese. Ironicaly spainish is looking like it's becoming the national language of the US.
