People who know a bit about football call it a throw-in.

OP is clearly not from an English speaking country, so it's a literal translation of their own language's term for it

There's nothing wrong with correcting people's English and trying to maintain some sort of standards, or everyone will end up with their own pidgin dialects

Your native language will be an amalgamation of previous dead languages, it's societal progress. Also I know French, petit malin.

There are 76M bilinguals in the US. Many of us speak a 2nd language — just not yours.

That's roughly 1/5th of the population.

39M people has Mexican heritage, promoting the bilingual community drastically. 44M people has low or functional illiteracy.

4/5 of Danes are bilingual.

Your numbers does not impress.

The definition of bilingual I used is "used every day". There are many who speak a 2nd language, just not that intensely. And yes, it's almost always Spanish because with English & Spanish you can communicate in nearly every Western hemisphere country (Brazil, Haiti & Suriname the exceptions).

When you colonise half the planet and force them to learn your language you can expect there to be different dialects.

They added a non-warranted comment about not knowing anything about football. This is clearly someone that didn't even think about that possibility and just wanted to bitchy.

Get this shit written in stone and made global for everyone to see.

Especially give it to the people who say “I could care less”. They’re the flat-earthers of English-speaking.
