This term is highly polysemous. It depends on where you are from.

English will *eventually* eliminate most other languages.

Unlikely. Chinese is impractical for a number of reasons..

English is currently the dominant language not due to the fact that it is an easy language, but because the US and the UK+its empire used this language and became dominant as an international language during the 20th century, it is just a question of power. Btw, Chinese impractical? I know its writing system seems rather hard, but speaking Chinese is actually way more logical compared to English. So this is highly debatable.

Exactly.

Except with the mass rise of internet and *keyboards* writing is much more important.

you know Jofferey, if you do not want to learn the Hanzi (Chinese characters) you can still use the Pinyin: Written Chinese with Latin Letters.
Actually, interesting anecdote: Mao and other communist leaders in the 50s were thinking about replacing the Chinese characters with the Latin script, because during this period few Chinese were literate, but they finally chose to keep the Chinese characters (that's part of their culture after all).

I don't have any interest in learning Chinese.

English language will be to the future what Greek was during the period of 300 BC - 100 AD (about)

Ugh. So many people being intentionally difficult. Nobody thinks that the U.S represents a whole continent. When we say "America" we are referring to just the U.S.

Are citizens of the U.S not allowed to call themselves Americans either? What are we then? United Statists? That sounds terrible.

The full name is "United States of America" thus "America" is an acceptable short-hand. There's really no reason to nit-pick over it except certain people are desperate to make themselves seem smarter.

300 BC - 100 AD


From 50BC to 100AD, Latin was dominant.

Anyway one day English will also be replaced by another language, and it will be greatly accelerated in the near future during the downfall of the US Empire under Emperor Trump the Chosen One, religious zealot and warmonger, during his presidency Mexico will conquer most of the US, and Spanish will be the new dominant language. Ay Tyrion pendejo! Que piensas de este futuro de mierda?

Angry Koala, you are a troll.

And Germany going in and conquering France again is *far far far* more likely than a Mexican invasion.

Mexico was literally never a threat to the US militarily.

Mexico doesn't need to invade the U.S with its military. They can take over through mass immigration.

A troll calling someone a troll: this is being IRRELEVANT!

Germany has no army, or greatly reduced, and anyway Germany and France are kind of "married" you know, you seem to not know it, but France and Germany since the 50s are deeply cooperating not only in terms of diplomacy (we stand always together in international meetings) but also in terms of culture (most of the French and German schools have special class for both French and German known as Franco-German/European classes) and in terms of economics (Germany is our biggest partner), we share the same currency, and hopefully soon the same state (a federal Europe vowed by both nations) and the same army. So again your ignorance about these 2 nations is great.
In the case of Mexico and the US, both countries did not achieve such close diplomatic ties. Mexico isn't a threat militarily speaking, nonetheless we cannot hide the fact that a great part of the US are now largely inhabited by Mexicans or people of Mexican descents, culturally speaking Mexico is a threat (if you consider it as a threat, i would rather consider it as a chance for the US).
