> Word has also been significant in helping establish English as the global language of business. While it would be an overstatement to say Word alone made English the dominant language, as a US firm, Microsoft's mother-tongue is American-English. When this is coupled with Word’s ubiquity, it at least reinforces this dominance. > "Word primarily operates in English," says Noël Wolf, a linguistic expert at the language learning platform Babbel. "As businesses become increasingly global, the widespread use of Word in professional and technical fields has led to the borrowing of English terms and structures, which contribute to the trend of linguistic homogenisation." I don't think I get it. Word "primarily operates in English" presumably because everybody reading this article speaks English and so uses Word in English, but Chinese people undoubtedly use Word in Chinese. This feels like saying movies "primarily operate in English" because every movie I've seen spoke it.
