I did not mean “British” English, just English. And true, the hegemony that the 
US had and still has on this planet, commerce, popular culture, sheer weight 
and all that implies, forced everyone else to learn English. The internet is 
the prime example,

Americans are smug in that we do not need to learn other languages, because 
everyone else speaks English. I am not sure I am proud of that…
