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.

The funny thing about that is, while it is a dumb language, its also supposed to be the hardest language to learn. Makes sense though, you have so many intelligent people in the world, its hard for them to "dumb down" to learn there, thier, and they're, etc. And when things like "bling" and "Ice" make it into the dictionary to describe jewelry it just makes it worse. I hope the japanese language doesnt die for a long long time. And between the hispanics, slang, and somalians, I agree that the english language in america is taking a blow.
