    The argument against English being the world language is that it gives an unfair advantage to native English speakers.

    No one is making that argument? It’s stupid and asinine. Why do you care about “advantage”? Like what the fuck ROFL

      Sorry, you're the one trolling now. What is the reason we shouldn't just use English then?

        Because it’s hard to learn?

        Some aesthetic reason like “its the language of colonialism” is just dumb. a global second language should be easy to learn for a large % of the global population and be easy to learn read and speak

          Non-English countries have to spend a considerable amount of time and resources teaching and translating English (which is vulnerable to delays). It's not only about aesthetics, it's about information speed and quality
