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.

Super easy? Tell that to a Japanese speaker. English is a very difficult language to learn for the very reason there are so many bent rules...even in the Queen's English.
American Sign Language is taught to monkeys and apes by English Speaking Researchers....let's not get to silly here. I am sure Japanese researchers teach Japanese Sign Language to Japanese monkeys.
Too late, but English is the standard language of communication in international situations.
Oh, and there is nothing "dumb" about English. I think you could find a better phrase. It functions pretty well for a language that is mashed from so many sources.
