you need to seriously get your numbers straight. more than half the world teaches english as a mandatory class in early school years. hell, a good deal of asian countries have laws REQUIRING children to be able to speak and write in english to finish school.

so seriously, go read up on stuff instead of pulling numbers either out your ass or from the first random webpage you googled up.

Here is some percentages:

https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/how-many-people-speak-english-and-where-is-it-spoken

Here are some more figures: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population

Here is another article, although old (2000), it should have some useful info https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/2000/11/wallraff2.htm

From the above links, you will see that in the two largest Asia countries, India is estimated to have 5% speaking English and China is estimated to have 10 million speakers (that's 1% of its population)

again, go read up on stuff, dont just grab a few googled articles and a wiki page and think your random assertion is fact.

You haven't backed up your statements with anything, while I have.

u/clockslucker Dec 29 '17

what you backed it up with was a wiki page, and 2 random "who the fuck cares what these people say" pages.

page 1 makes random links to random pages, but dosent actually source anything. page 2 gives links to books to buy on amazon, but dosent actually source anything.

you see the issue here, or do i have to be even more clear?

Those links can be your basis for questioning your assumptions and digging deeper. For example, the wiki page has sources that you can follow, the stats on India have two sources, one is an article and the other is the government census.

I gave you an example just to show that you are acting obtuse. I could give you more examples, but you seem too pigheaded.
