5. I’d frankly be happy if English was selected as the language for the American Union.

   But I guess I’m asking a lot???

6. BRILLIANT! I hope this is BS, though. 

   On the other hand, I would not be surprised if English was adopted as the official language of the EU.  (maybe it already is, don’t know). 

   French is also a front runner I bet.

   This is one of my pet topics.  English is, as a matter of fact, the “hippest” langauge out there for several reasons - lots of rhyming words, much of it is imported from other languages, rich scientific, artistic and cultural heritage, and best of all, it’s the language spoken in the country that billions of people all over the world wished they lived in.

8. English is the de facto language of commerce in most of Europe and most of Asia. Which is nice. 

   But the original post is a very old joke. Been around for at least 10 years. 

   I think the main reason is its flexibility. We the Brits have never had an “Academy” laying down the law about its usage and thus obstructing its natural evolution. [Another dig at the Frogs there.  ]
