Please stop being an obnoxious ass. English is the de-facto lingua franca of the world, acting like German is in any way comparable is just disingenuous.
I love that you called it the lingua franca.
Why yes, English is the French.
Uh do you not know what "lingua franca" means or are you making a joke?
The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.
You just said what everyone thinks when they hear 'lingua franca' for the first time.
