As English speakers, we are able to wander half way around the world and stumble off the plane with a more than 50/50 shot of everyone sealing our language. All thanks to those enterprising chaps who sailed here a few hundred years ago to make that happen. God bless them.

Have you ever considered how daunting international travel must be for lesser peoples who haven't taken the precaution of learning English? It must be constantly stressful. Still, it serves them right for not being foreign and not learning English, I suppose.

Even the mightiest of foreigners squirm and cringe as soon as you open your mouth, as you've taken them back to when they were about 12 years old and struggling with their English grammar homework. The pointlessness and futility of all that time and money spent at Berlitz finally hits home; they'll never have what you were fortunate enough to have been born to.*
