i think everyone or the majority of the world "does spanish" and not "french" as you say is it a myth that the majority speak spanish or i could be wrong its probably french .
As for being taught french at school i was taught spainish and italian as well as the most popular foreing language that "everyone" does french .
I now have this vision of the whole of south america talking french . wink

At school, we were told that every country in the world (I have my doubts about this) had agreed to teach children French as a second language, so that everyone would be able to communicate, albeit using French. (The exception was the French, who were going to teach their children English, because they already knew French.) OTOH, they also taught us that Mary Queen of Scots was the daughter of Henry VIII (no, really), so take that with a pinch of salt.
According to , the most popular language in the world is Mandarin, which I guess makes sense.
How on earth could anyone make sense with a mandarin in their mouth? lol

Actually think you will find that the international language most spoken for business and general communication purposes is no longer French it is English.
I was shocked to find this out when I lived and studied abroad. The host country and the people on the international course we were on, all spoke English as a second language as this is what they required to be successful communicators internationally. French has been replaced and the children at school are taught an option of French, Spanish, German or in some cases Italian. These are tought with the mind set of tourism and where we as the British most like to holiday rather than for business purposes. I have found many times that when telephoning abroad I try to speak in their language as a matter of courtesy to find they automatically switch to English.
Of course the Chinese language is the most spoken mother tongue as the nationality has the greatest population.
judy as you said it is an opinion, my opinon surely we are allowed that here i checked the AUP and it does not mention that you are not allowed to have an opinion so i am not breaking any rules that i know off .
By the way this is a debate, not what you like or dislike so dont you get pissy with me either(your words not mine lol ) if you can not take someones opinion then thats tough luck. And as for me telling you what to do why would i bother because you will take no notice anyhow will you.
Have a nice day. cool

Many thanks foxy for your positive comments . GR8 ASS ....
Sorry to drag this out but we had a job application which used text speak the other day A JOB APPLICATION FFS!!!
And that is the problem with it, that young people don't see anything wrong with it, and don't know any better. it was only for a work experience placement but still it's not on. So, we called the school, and the teacher acted as though it was normal. Standards seem to be slipping, and I really don't think it's a good thing...
Oh FFS.
It's a Forum!
Does it really matter?
Jeez.
