"I don’t think they don’t like English" (k00b)
So I proved how wrong you are:
"American language is a virus for the planet as a whole!" (01xCc) LINK
Just curious: any reflection so far?
It's funny how he calls it "American language", even though most places where English is spoken were first conquered by England. For crying out loud, America began as an English colony.
The irony goes deeper: there are numerous Russian words in American English. Afterall, modern English is a synthesis of various Germanic, Scandavian, Romance, and Mediterranean languages. English has been adopting words from other languages for a thousand years, in order to magnify the nuisance of it's vocabulary. English is the largest linguistic melting pot in human history.
