Many countries understand the utility of English better than the United States
does.

If you believe that 75 percent of the world's population under 15
speak English, you haven't traveled enough.


I'll agree that this is quite an exaggeration. Most of the world's population
does not speak English. However, English is more widely spoken than any other
language.
