The Economist notes that the European Union is becoming an English-speaking zone.

A European Commission fellow notes: "When I left Brussels in 1995, 70% of the documents crossing my desk were written in French. Nowadays 70% are in English.”

Nice to see that even the EU is working towards rendering France irrelevant.

And it gets better. When the next round of countries enters the EU, it's estimated that 60% of them will speak English as their second language, with only 20% knowing French.

The commission's Mr Defraigne worries aloud whether “it is possible to speak English without thinking American.”

Unfortunately, this is all too possible as thousands of celebrities and millions of lefty-liberals prove every day.
