Its also hard to counter the oblivious. If your concern was efficiency, you would instead promote that everyone learn Lojban (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban). Then at least you would have a regular, computationally parseable, culturally neutral language with unambiguous phonology and finely grained grammatical control. You would also have an established standard (English is not the same everywhere) and no need to appear to be an intolerant racist too since everyone has to learn a language. Plus it would be much much quicker to learn to fluency than English.
