That could be achieved with education. In the US, there's quite a heavy emphasis on English. College entrance exams (the SAT, the GRE, etc.) test you on English more than anything else. And communication underpins to a significant extend, one's success in almost any field.
- kaidajekri 13y agoThe dialect of Indian English takes some grammatical structure from other Indian languages. Some sentences may not be considered technically correct by British English or American English speakers, but are perfectly acceptable by Indian English standards. Some words or terms may have different usages, and pronunciation may differ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_English#Divergent_usage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_English#Divergent_usage
