It seems India’s education has done well for introducing English to the young kids.
You still have huge language barriers. I am impressed by the diversity of the world. m
Most software is still very US centric and that makes me sad at times. English became a standard because the Victorian empire was very good at colonizing and pushing their ideas down other cultures’ throats. Good for them.
But when one learns other languages, you begin to realize how broken and inconsistent English is. If English would be a programming language, it would be PHP.
