English is mandated by JSP - it is against the rules to communicate in another language, there are subforums for it

English is a Germanic language with Latin influences. The syntax is over 80% Germanic, the term English itself is derived from Anglish from the Germanic tribe of the Angles. In the present, it is a Protestant Christian language, Anglican to be precise.

It is lingua franca because our culture is the superior/dominant culture of the world. Just a statement of fact, not to put down other cultures - it's been like this since we were the victorious Northern European tribe in the war of the Age of Discovery. All the other big languages are subordinate to common English.

Well the British Empire conquered 3/4 of the world.
That being said, English is rather direct and straightforward, as of now, it is the most pragmatic language and communication method for business worldwide.

That's right! The modern world is English - we spread our influence across the 4 corners of the globe, and now the international culture is an English one. Everything we take for granted came from us. Most people don't realize this

The direct and straightforward-ness is a distinct advantage of the Germanic culture. Efficient, direct, to the point.

Is that somehow worse than press ganging children & old men to be sent into the meat grinder?

Ukraine is going to go the way of Carthage if they keep this up
