Any thoughts on this this? Any quite interesting languages that might be the future general language?

English, French, or a random country.

Just like the Olympics does it.

All surrenders should be written in French. Other than that it has no good use.

Balerion, I must correct you.
All surrenders should be written in French. Other than that and really good ideas for meals, it has no good use.

True Americans eat "freedom" fries and have "freedom" toast.

Now try reading that with a straight face. I remember when they changed that in the school system because we were pissed at the French.

When France would not support us going to war in retaliation for 9/11.

We only got help from them during ours because they hated Britain. We were already in debt it just pushed us deeper. Their revolution didn't end up too well in the end and I doubt we could have changed that. The large amount of money we gave Napoleon did give them some assistance however.

doesn't change the situation.

doesn't exclude the fact that we were solely thinking of ourselves, which other countries don't really enjoy.

also, we didn't have the right focus after 9/11, and France realized that.

No reason we should be classic American Ass-holes for that shit.

Currently, English seems to be the dominant language. I have talked to a Japanese student that says that English is a required course in Japan. I feel that this trend will only grow in the future.

None singlehandedly. WWI we just came in the end and didn't really do much. WWII our push was good, but our soldiers were very young and unexperienced, our help was purely moral. Therefore, it's debatable how much we "won" that war for them.

and that's really the only wars we've joined after they have.

Even if we had won WWII for them, it doesn't exclude the fact that we were off-focus after 9/11 and they couldn't get behind it.

English is the dominant language in Business and the Internet. Mandarin is the dominant language in number of speakers.
