      My Wish

      One of my great wishes is that the whole world could communicate by speaking, reading and writing in the same language. Naturally, being lazy, I would like the language to be English so that I wouldn’t have to put in the hours, let alone the years, of study required to become fluent in some other tongue. But apart from my own purposes, there is no doubt that English would be the most practical choice for a universal language. Here are just a few reasons why:

      1) At least two thirds of the world’s commerce, to my knowledge, is already carried out through the English language.

      2) More people by far speak English as a second language than any other.

      3) There are already hundreds of millions of people who can teach it to others.

      4) There is an increasing number of people from non-English speaking nations who want to learn it.

      English Grammar Is Not The Problem

      I have heard many people say that English is a very hard language to learn. Well it can’t be too hard. Most four-year olds in English speaking countries can carry out a
