Funny but English as a Lingua Franca is a thing. English has become a widely understood international language so its not just used to talk to native English speakers but also as a common language between non-native speakers.

English as a Lingua Franca
I bet frenchies are so salty about it
Italians (Latin) and Greeks were salty before them. And the Anglo-Saxons will be salty when Chinese, Indian or an African language becomes the new lingua franca. That's
I envy native english speakers. They don't have to waste time learning english.
atleast we don't say could of and would of
Esperanto estas la plej bona kaj utila internacia lingvo.
There are 10 types of people in the world.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
That's not true; I also speak Dutch!
Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? ...... That's what I thought.
Dutch, the language that sounds like a mix of german, english and swedish combined. Well at least when I read it.
In my country I speak my language because others doesn't speak my dialect.
Dude, I get it, but I don't have anything against you and I'm not demanding you learn English to cater to me.
Please stop assuming I'm racist or selfish for only knowing the language my parents spoke most when I was a baby, I probably could have picked up Spanish from my mom's family but sending a teenager with Asperger's like me to stay with relatives in South America in 2007 like my normal-brained brother did as a foreign exchange student would have been infeasible.
I just want to write speculative fiction in my own language and in return be grateful to people who are willing to learn a trade language, not be told I'm a monster just for speaking only a language that's commonplace, is that too much to ask?
