Why english is int language? becz they did some great mafia business in the past for 400 years. They killed people, looted each and every things from different places in the world, they empired the whole world for 400 years, they were nothing in 1500 but they are now everything just because they were the great mafia, thieves, unscrupulous individuals, they can do anything for their own purposes and that's the reason to make the world easy with their own language they manipulate the whole world in English. "Fortune favors the brave" and this is a false statement, real one should be "Fortune favors the thieves like the British". The great thief nation ever. Ha ha ha ha.
