    When did flight control go all English? A large amount of it is conducted in English. Likely the condition the article is about will remain for some time. Many harp on the need for one language, if not one government. The language likely will be a mashup of english, spanish, and others, with heavy emphasis on the first. Words that don't translate easily but convey great meaning will remain in native form. Then again perhaps I watched Blade Runner too many times.
