Anyway, this is going off topic, but I don't think anyone wants there to only be one language, just that it would be nice if there was common language in place throughout most of the world.

Due to the spread of the internet, in a few years there will supposedly be more people who can read/write English than there are who can speak it. I read that somewhere on the internet, so it must be true.
