Quote from asiaprop:
buddy fact is most people speak natively Chinese, then Spanish, then possibly English. No matter how you twist it. Dont dont play with words, e.g. native/non native. Everyone is aware that more people learn English as second or third langage vs Chinese.
Given you said "you could not be wronger on this..." you look pretty stupid.
Quote from asiaprop:
after all the majority of the world clearly DOES NOT speak English nor does it have to.

The only one twisting things is you, here's your original comment that started this sordid trip...
Quote from asiaprop:
I made a claim that most people DO NOT speak English (which referred to normal daily conversations not their capability, which I think I made crystal clear in a follow up post) not whether they CAN or are CAPABLE of speaking English.
So, step down from your podest. Hey, your own link hints at the possibility that combining all Chinese dialects the number of Chinese speakers could still be higher than all people in this world who are able to speak English do you still think your comment about "could not be more wrong" is still applicable?
