Why we speak English
Why Speak ENGLISH?
A United States Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that
included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and
French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing
with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of the
countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but
a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn
many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked "Why is
it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather
than speaking French?"
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied "Maybe it's because
the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't
have to speak German."
