Say like they picked French or Spanish to use instead

Because American Media has a lot of influence so I wonder what if English wasn’t chosen. Would there be people that would see French/Spanish as a desirable language to learn?

    i think so, mrdown had a good point about science and business but I think another big point that hasn’t been mentioned yet is the internet. a quick Google search (proper citation needed) showed a bunch of numbers all over 50% of the internet being in English.

    now I would be interested to hear positions arguing that’s not US influence… I can’t think of where they would place it but I’m interested to hear theories
