Seriously, this was almost bound to happen because of the advent of the comupter and the internet. My guess is that a person who cannot speak English will be considered illiterate by the end of this century. By the middle of this century perhaps all Europeans will have become predominantly English-speaking, because it's really the only languge that makes sense in the context of the information age.

Now if we could only do something to help the Zilds and the Strines.
