Maken babies and survival is the universal language.
- The rest is just what it takes to do that.

English @ the moment is where the $$ is.
Soon Chineese / English mix ?!? - (China has the people. English is where the money is @ the moment).

One would think that they are the same, essentially, once you get past dialects, pronunciation, spelling, and usage. If I took English on the US grading scale, I would have flunked it.

Well I can think of many differences between the language here and where you are...

There are obviously dialects, which affect us just as much as you; I have trouble understanding far north, far east, far south and far west dialects - Even the london cockney accent is hard to grasp...

I dunno - I understand most of what Americans say to me when I've been over there ;)

funny, english people are always asking me if i'm french or other because i write a strange english.. lol

i learned english from a british teacher, and my family speak a scotish variation that is not only by accents, but in sentences structures... more like french...

and i'm a french native btw, from Qu?bec - Canada, so my english is very strange sometimes...

anyway.,... i talk/write too much in all situations!

Yeah, I guess. One universal language would be nice but then again it would lower the cultureness of European/Asian/African..etc countries.

Today i saw a TV doc, which enforces the other way. Speaking more dialect helps the brain to evolve.

But of course, just if the kid is raised in dialect, but has to learn the high native language soon, in first grades of school.
