Chinese is the most spoken language on earth. English is only on position two. However, English is wider spreaded and keep in mind that - according to google - 300 mio Chinese can also speak English. Even if all of this might be very interesting, it wasn't my point. The point I made was, and I quote: "However, some of my friends do not speak German, yet all of my friends should, at least in theory, be able to understand basic English." Oh well, yes.

GERMAN: Dumpfes Argument, da musst dann gleich in Chinesisch schreiben. ENGLISH: Stupid argument, you should write in Chinese instead. “Nun ja, es gibt ca. 100 Millionen Menschen, die Deutsch als Muttersprache haben, gegenüber 1 Milliarde die der englischen Sprache mächtig sind.”
